Re: Talks for OSCON? Only 5 days left!

All,

We only have five days left to submit talks for OSCON (Portland, last week
of July): http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2007/create/e_sess

I'd like to check & coordinate what people are submitting from PostgreSQL
to make sure we have the strongest possible PostgreSQL content. So far we
have:

Performance Whack-a-Mole - Josh Berkus
Joy of Index - Josh Berkus
PostgreSQL analytics with DTrace - Theo Schlossnagle

... this isn't nearly enough. We need some cool talks on building
applications with pgcrypto, PostGIS, TSearch2 and more!

Josh,

May I suggest you refer to the pgcon submissions. There's quite a few to choose from (44 at last count).

Robert,

Sorry, doesn't work that way. People have to submit to ORA's system.

thanks for enlightening me

FYI: I made about 7 days ago on creating a live CD. I figured I'd kill two
birds with one stone by promoting postgres using pg_live as the example CD.

Wow, great. I'll try it out. Now that we finally have a budget, time to
print the CDs for the season.

However, we're going to have a new minor release very soon, so we'll want
to wait for the update. :-(

Would it be safe/appropriate to do a "What's new in 8.3" talk? (Went
to OSCON last year, but didn't make it to any talks).
