Promotion of PostgreSQL at FOSDEM, specifically, is handled by PgEU,
similar to how promotion at SCALE in the US is handled by PgUS.

That's certainly an interesting idea and the FOSDEM PG room is nearly
always completely full, so you're likely to get a good audience for such
a talk, assuming it gets accepted. We could try to do something similar
at SCALE too.
