Currently, Linux.conf.au 2009 is held on Hobart, Tasmania.
I had to plan to talk about SE-PostgreSQL and related stuff,
but it became unavailable to attend the conference due to
the recent economic circumstances unfortunately. :(
Russell Coker is one of the core developers in SELinux community.
He volunteered to give talks about these stuffs on the slot instead
of me, though he was also supposed to talk about SELinux in Debian.
He also noted that audiences were reasonably interested, and an attendee
introduced SE-PostgreSQL in his session later, as follows:

I'm happy, if you become interested in these features more.
Thanks,
