I'm told these lists were more appropriate for this kind of
announcement than hackers, so here it is.

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:

Isn't the Linux symposium mostly esoteric kernel stuff?

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.
