Please submit for OSCON!
Folks,
The Call for Papers for O'Reilly Open Source Conference is open. Please
submit a talk if you can go to Portland!
Over the last 3 years, PostgreSQL has come to be the pre-eminent DBMS at
OSCON mainly through maintaining a really good booth and submitting really
good talks. Let's keep this up.
http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/content/home
http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/cfp/13
Futher, please e-mail me & Elein copies of your submissions, both so that
we can give you feedback on how to make the submission better, and second
so that we'll know to vote on your submissions.
Especially desired are presentations about using PostgreSQL for some other
interesting project. Less than 10% of OSCON attendees are interested in
databases on their own, so database-geek-only talks are unlikely to be
accepted. Instead, think about submitting stuff like:
-- Scaling up Python applications on PostgreSQL
-- Migrating J2EE applications off of Oracle
-- Implementing a 10TB data warehouse using all OSS tools
-- Open source GIS boot camp
-- Rails & PostgreSQL: How & Why
We may or may not be having a PostgreSQL Day before OSCON (Josh, Selena?)
but we'll keep people posted. But submit a talk today!

I'd love to have another PostgreSQL Day before OSCON.
Let's just do it.
We're working on East right now, but I'll see if PDXPUG can step up
with some organization support.

Yes the PostgreSQL Day is planned. I am working with John Mark to also
have a PostgreSQL Day at LinuxWorld as well.
Sincerely,

Josh,

Really? Where?
What's prevented me from suggesting this is the extreme expense of
having anything near Moscone Center.

John is actually on the LinuxWorld committee and is trying to get them
to give us space. I will keep everyone posted.
