Link to conference coverage

From
"Jim C. Nasby"
Date:
Now that the conference is over, topics on planetpostgresql.org are
moving on, which means linking there from the front page of
postgresql.org doesn't make too much sense. Is there a better place to
link to? Or maybe we should just go back to our regularly scheduled
programming.

Maybe we could add a "wrap-up" link to the conference.postgresql.org website
and point to that.  That page could contain a list of all the various blog
posts / articles that covered the conference. ?

Both Gavin and I have on out TODO list to write a wrap-up.  I have  a 1/2
completed one in front of me now.

However, I think the PostgreSQL home page *should* move on.

Do we want to:

1)Make a blurb about PostgreSQL at OSCon?  That's probably the next big thing
on the radar, though not sure how big that really is.

2)Wait until August 1st and then do a blurb about feature freeze / beta
information?

3)Go back to the 8.1.4 security announcement untill beta is released?

4)Go back to a general 8.1.x available announcement until beta is released?

I'd be inclined to do 1 or 2 myself, what do others think?

I wouldn't do #3 or #4.  I like #2.

No, not worth it.

OK, if so I'll get up some general end-of-conference information on the
conference home page today.   Change the link on the home page to point
to conference.postgresql.org, until next week.

HOWEVER, I do think we should come up with a general "PostgreSQL is
Cool" balloon for future times when we don't have much to say.

I'm pretty sure I do -- did you ever grab the tarball that I sent you
the link for?
