The time and place for the Open Source Convention (OSCON) 2004 has just been announced:
2004 O'Reilly Open Source Convention July 26-30, 2004 Portland Marriott Downtown, Portland, OR
Last year had a good PostgreSQL showing (including our own track) but I would like to see a lot more. I encourage everyone to think about doing a presentation, even if just a short one on a very specific PostgreSQL topic. The advocacy list is a good place to brainstorm about topic ideas. (I am CCing this initial one to general, please post any followups only to advocacy).
I do not know what the "theme" of the convention is yet (they like to have themes) but some quick possible topic areas may be:
PostgreSQL on Windows Replication Backups and Restores Converting from Oracle (or others) How I solved XXX using PostgreSQL PostgreSQL for "enterprise" computing Integrating PostgreSQL with PHP Handling large objects
We here at Command Prompt, Inc. (seeing as how we're in downtown Portland) would be happy to assist with organizing anything local for this. We're also involved (at least I am) with Portland Linux User Group (http://www.pdxlug.org) and I'm sure they'd assist with tending the booth as well. As far as presentations, the more we can get the better and I think these are some great topics to cover. It's never too early to begin planning these things.
MySQL had a booth this year, and PostgreSQL didn't. :-/
