Just an FYI, in case anyone else submitted abstracts. I never heard
back from the folks at UGA about this conference, but today checked the
speaker schedule for it and noticed that I'm on the hook for a total of
3 talks on the last day of the conference. If anyone else submitted
abstracts, you might check to see if you are scheduled to speak at the
conference. The day I am scheduled happens to be the *only* weekday in
the month of October that I am actually free...

The talks I am doing are:

Introduction to Geospatial databases with PostGIS
Choosing an Open Source database: MySQL vs PostgreSQL
Providing Highly Available Network Services with UCARP (a variant of my
PGDay talk at LinuxWorld).

Is there any community presence at this conference (besides me?)

Just a note that folks who submitted abstracts may not have received any
notification that their abstracts were actually accepted....
