> 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,
