PostgreSQL at OSCON 2004

The time and place for the Open Source Convention (OSCON) 2004 has
just been announced:

2004 O'Reilly Open Source Convention
July 26-30, 2004
Portland Marriott Downtown, Portland, OR

Last year had a good PostgreSQL showing (including our own track) but I
would like to see a lot more. I encourage everyone to think about doing
a presentation, even if just a short one on a very specific PostgreSQL
topic. The advocacy list is a good place to brainstorm about topic ideas.
(I am CCing this initial one to general, please post any followups only
to advocacy).

I do not know what the "theme" of the convention is yet (they like
to have themes) but some quick possible topic areas may be:


PostgreSQL on Windows
Replication
Backups and Restores
Converting from Oracle (or others)
How I solved XXX using PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL for "enterprise" computing
Integrating PostgreSQL with PHP
Handling large objects

Others?

We here at Command Prompt, Inc. (seeing as how we're in downtown
Portland) would be happy to assist with organizing anything local for
this. We're also involved (at least I am) with Portland Linux User Group
(http://www.pdxlug.org) and I'm sure they'd assist with tending the
booth as well. As far as presentations, the more we can get the better
and I think these are some great topics to cover. It's never too early
to begin planning these things.

MySQL had a booth this year, and PostgreSQL didn't. :-/
