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. :-/
