Thread: OLS BOF for linux & postgresql
I'm told these lists were more appropriate for this kind of announcement than hackers, so here it is. ----- Forwarded message from Mark Wong <markw@osdl.org> ----- Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 16:59:16 -0800 To: pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org From: Mark Wong <markw@osdl.org> Subject: [HACKERS] OLS BOF for linux & postgresql I wanted to bounce the idea of a BOF at the Linux Symposium in Ottawa and see if anyone would like to attend. The deadline to proposal is Feb 1st, sort of short notice... I thought the dicussion could revolved around these two topics: Linux features that PostgreSQL should take advantage of. Where PostgreSQL stresses Linux now. Thoughts, ideas, etc. are welcome. For more information on the Linux Symposium: http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2005/ Mark ----- End forwarded message -----

Perhaps some. ;) You can see the past proceedings here: http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2005/proceedings.php Last year there were papers about async i/o, speeding up the page cache and scaling linux.
