Thread: PostgreSQL at LISA in Boston: Dec. 7-8
All, We are going to be doing a booth at Usenix LISA[1] conference in Boston from December 7-8. If you live in Boston and are a PostgreSQL enthusiast, or if you plan to attend LISA, I want your help! I need booth volunteers to help me work the booth. All you need is some general knowledge of how to use PostgreSQL, enthusiasm, and 3 (or more) free hours. We will supply the rest, including flyers, magazines, and a t-shirt for volunteers. If you don't already have a pass for the conference, I will get you one for the exhibit hall. Or you can attend the full conference if you pay a registration fee; get $100 off with our community discount, LISA11POSTGRE. We will also have a BOF[2] on the night of the 7th at the conference hotel, where I will demo some 9.1 and 9.2 features and talk about the Postgres project. Finally, PalominoDB is organizing a Boston PUG (PostgreSQL User Group) meeting at which I will speak. Details TBD, but expect it at MIT on one of the nights of the 5th, 6th, or 8th. Maybe we can start a regular BostonPUG!

I could probably help with the booth on at least one of those days, work permitting. > Finally, PalominoDB is organizing a Boston PUG (PostgreSQL User Group) > meeting at which I will speak.

I've put Sheeri and Tom Kinkaid in touch with each other. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
