Re: Booth Volunteers for LISA 08 (San Diego)

Hello,

PostgreSQL is going to have a booth at LISA:

http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa08/
http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa08/exhibition.html

Currently we are confirmed for Joshua Drake and Richard Broeserma.
However due to an excessive travel schedule by me, it would be great to
find a few folks to replace me at this event. At a minimum we need to
add at least one more person, preferably two.

Any volunteers?

Oh. With me going to the government conference instead, if you pull out
of LISA we should probably cancel PostgreSQL's participation. We really
can't do a Guru session if we're not sending any Gurus, and I'm not real
keen on not having anyone experienced in running a booth there, either.
As far as I know, Richard has participated in only one booth.

I will go if I have to. I was just giving opportunity for others to
step up.

Ok, cool. I already talked to David Fetter about it; unfortunately he's
been preempted by a trip to China.

Can I offer travel costs from San Francisco if I plug this on SFPUG?

You wont get any arguments from me on this point. :)

Does anyone want to attend this conference?

I don't think you'd get a free conference pass, but LISA is an
excellent conference, and I'm sure if you were chatty you could manage
to see some pretty cool stuff.

I might be able to attend, my calendar is currently free that week, but
I need to make sure I don't have a personal conflict... I will find out
ASAP. Not sure if that affects this...
