Is there anywhere on the site that has coverage of past events? ISTM there should be... -- Jim Nasby jim@nasby.net EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)

An archive of what's listed under events, or you mean actual texts about the events? As for archive of listed events, I'm not really sure how it helps. But since you're Nasby, you probably have a use-case for it? If you mean texts about them, we generally have archives at the event sites and planetpostgresql.org - not sure what we'd migrate. Though I notice conference.postgresql.org is still down and has been for a long time - perhaps we should just remove the DNS record for it if it's not going to be used? //Magnus
Didnt realize my php upgrade broke that too, should be fixed now.

We don't.
What are you referring to? An archive of what's listed under events, or you
mean actual texts about the events?
As for archive of listed events, I'm not really sure how it helps. But
since you're Nasby, you probably have a use-case for it?

and planetpostgresql.org - not sure what we'd migrate. Though I notice

perhaps we should just remove the DNS record for it if it's not going to be
used?

TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives?

In this case, I wanted photos from the conferences; particularly the group photos. Luckily, Flicr and Berkus came to the rescue there. But we should also keep things like presentations and what-not available. I know conferences have their own websites, but ISTM we should at least link to them from somewhere on PostgreSQL.org. The other thing I wanted was general advocacy items, such as graphics I could use. Likewise, it would be good to have a single collection of advocacy presentations that are available for use. -- Jim Nasby jim@nasby.net EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)

Luckily, Flicr and Berkus came to the rescue there. Group photos we have, but just no page bringing them together. Hey, why don't you make up a page or set of pages to stick under /community and we'll commit them for you? ;-) > But we should also keep things like presentations and what-not > available.

We have a lot of presentations on techdocs - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.37. > The other thing I wanted was general advocacy items, such as graphics > I could use.

Yeah, it would be great to be able to go somewhere and easily get the summit picture with the names tooltips, and the PGCon photo, etc. Did the PGDay photo ever get labelled that way? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

If someone comes up with a suggestion.. ;-) > Did > the PGDay photo ever get labelled that way? No. I got sidetracked :-( I should get back to it and fix that. //Magnus

Why, you, of course ;-) Anyway. If the content is in a way that's maintainable, it should be possible to maintain it the same way as the rest of the web - people providing patches (hopefully - or just describing content-changing that one of us webmonkeys can turn into a patch) as they see need. //Magnus
