Re: Ontario Linux Fest

This year's Ontario Linux fest will be held on Saturday, 25 October 2008 at
Days Hotel and Conference Centre - Toronto Airport East. The Ontario Linux
Fest is a regional conference on Linux and other open source projects. You
can find more at http://www.onlinux.ca/

They have room in the schedule to host a birds of feather session for
PostgreSQL users (I don't have the exact time yet).

Unless there is an objection I'm going to ask them to list the BoF as being
hosted by the TorontoPUG (This was sort of discussed at the august
meeting). I am also going to hope that a few others make it to the
conference.

Steve

I think that's a great idea, Steve, thanks for asking them to add us.

I should be able to make the conference, are there any others out
there that might want to make it?

Steve,

I'd like to put something up on the TorontoPUG site this weekend to
advertise this, is there anything in particular you would like me to
put up there?

Do you have an idea of what the turnout will be like?

See http://www.onlinux.ca/ for more information.

I'd guess attendance at last years conference was in the hundreds of people.
I'd suspect turnout will be similar this year. I have no idea how many
people will attend the PostgreSQL Bof. They haven't yet posted a finalized
schedule so I'm not sure when the Bof will be or which (if any)
presentations it will be competing against.

I've put up a notice on the TorontoPUG site:
http://pugs.postgresql.org/torontopug

Steve, did you want to send a notice out to get this in the PostgreSQL
weekly news?

Thanks.

It was included in last weeks pwn.

I'd sent a note about the bof to -advocacy a week or two ago and David must
have picked it up from there.

FYI:

Ontario Linux Fest has posted the schedule. It's a little hard to
find, but the PostgreSQL BoF is at 1:30 pm on Saturday.

I'll post something on the TorontoPUG site later today,
