Hi all,
I may be organising a one day PostgreSQL 'mini' conference as part of the
larger Linux.Conf.Au conference in Perth Western Australia. The
mini conference will take place on the 20th of January; Linux.Conf.Au runs
from the 22nd to the 25th. The conference proper is, in my opinion, the best
open source conference around: Alan Cox, Andrew Tridgell, Rusty Russell,
Rasmus Lerdorf and other open source icons are amongst the confirmed
speakers. More at http://www.linux.conf.au.
The conference I am planning would attempt to cover/feature the following:
i) Installing PostgreSQL
ii) SQL
iii) Architecture of PostgreSQL
iv) Administration of PostgreSQL
v) Examination of PostgreSQL new features, focusing on the new 7.3 release
vi) Future directions
vii) Forum / Q&A
viii) Plenary session, to organise a list of important community TODO
items for organisers of mini-conference to put to PostgreSQL Global
Development Team.
ix) PostgreSQL in Education
x) Night of solid drinking and relaxed discussion
xi) Any other topic which is of interest
I am also giving an advanced tutorial on PostgreSQL as part of the
conference proper. Others in the PostgreSQL community are also interested
in speaking at this mini-conference.
Before I can proceed, I need to see how many people are interested in
attending. Email me if you are so that I can work with the organisers to
get something going.
Thanks,
Gavin
