It's a good idea, there are intensive users of Postgres here in Toulouse. But
I am not sure it will possible to get rooms (note jca: I think at UPS or
other university) for this year (2008).

About pricing, Toulouse is as every where in France, but plane is very low
cost (frequently less than train). Getting conference rooms for free and
sponsorship seems possible.

I don't care where next conf will be. Just choosing a place where postgres
people live look better.
