Opportunity for some .EDU advocacy

Good morning, y'all! If anyone is interested, I thought I'd send along
to -advocacy a Call for Presentations for the University System of
Georgia's Annual Computing Conference (a gathering of computing
professionals from all of the state's universities and colleges);
I've presented at this conference before, and it's a great opportunity
to advocate PostgreSQL in front of people who can make it happen
statewide. (There are also opportunities for vendors:
http://www.usg.edu/oiit/re/re08/exhibitorinfo/ ) It's an academic
conference, so there is no stipend or travel funds involved; however,
they do give free room and board (and no conference fees) to
presenters. Rock Eagle
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Eagle_Effigy_Mound - the conference
center itself is nearby to this historical monument) is a beautiful
place in the fall; I'd love to see some of y'all there as presenters
and/or exhibitors. :)
