Re: State of PostgreSQL, BOF at OSCON?

Folks,

Who should give these things? AFAIK, we will have lots of PostgreSQL
luminaries there: me, Bruce, Nasby, JD, Selena, Fetter, Jeff, etc.

I love lightning talks, and would enjoy giving the State Of Pg talk.
I defer to those who have being doing this for a while, though :)

I'll, of course, be there for the BoF and can help out in any way.
I'll have some special tshirts to share.

Have you filed for a BOF yet? If not, I'd better submit one.

+1 (for Selena on the lightning talk), although I'm fine with whatever
the community decides. ;)

Will be @ OSCON again this year, so I'm looking forward to the BOF (as always).

You going to do an education BOF?

--Josh

If no one else has already put in for one, yeah, I'd love to; last
year's went really well.

Put in for one. If it's redundant, you can always cancel it.

I normally put in for a BOF as part of my regular OSCon prep, but has someone
already put in for the booth? IIRC Drake usually handles that?

Oops! Sorry, Robert. I put the request in already. I mentioned all
the regular suspects by name, and I'll see if I can add a few of you
to the talk.

JD had requested the booth already. Gabrielle Roth was going to
manage volunteers and booth setup this year.

Selena already put in for the BOF. I think JD took care of the booth, yes?

No problem... note that the "State of" talk occures during the conference
proper, during a "state of projects" lightning talk session starting Thursday
morning. The BOF itself happens after hours (you should angle for Thursday
@7:30PM if possible), and as long as we have one designated contact, we can
do whatever we want during that time.

OS in EDU BOF's been accepted and scheduled for 7PM on the 24th; this
doesn't conflict with any PostgreSQL-related BOFs, does it (now that
our BOF's on Wednesday night)?
