Here's a link to this presentation directly:

http://www.2ndquadrant.com/PostgreSQL8.sxi.gz

or you can find the link via

http://www.2ndquadrant.com/

The presentation is short and completely different to Oddbjorn's much
more technical presentation - this is very much a contrast, not a
challenger. The purpose of my presentation is advocacy and information,
not education - since we [2ndQuadrant] already teach a range of very
technical courses.

The presentation is a single file, gzipped to 27Kb. It is in OpenOffice
Impress .sxi format, written for 1.1.3/1.1.4. I've had a few comments
and problems with font sizes changing, so if the presentation doesn't
fit on the page, please let me know. [Hence the delay]

Feedback is of course welcome on the presentation slides, but one of the
main points of making it available is to form a template for other
presentations, since the project doesn't really have (yet?) an official
set of branded presentation materials.

The presentation is released under a BSD-style licence, which is
included within the presentation, should you be inclined to examine.

I'll release new versions from time to time if feedback is sufficiently
positive to warrant that.

Best Regards, Simon Riggs
