PgCon 2009: Lighning Talks! Call for participation
Ottawa is almost as pretty as Portland this time of year.
Can you believe it? PgCon 2009 is nearly here!
We need lightning talks for our Lightning Talks session at PgCon in Ottawa, Ontario next week!
I have a few talks lined up (there’s really only time for about 10 of them!), but we need MORE! Lightning talks are FIVE MINUTE presentations. If you’ve never given a talk before, this is a great way to get your feet wet. If you have a last minute awesome thing to share, now is your time to do it!
Anything PostgreSQL related – code, stories, announcements — just send your topics to me! Comment below or email me: selena -at- postgresql -dot- org.
I’ll post talks as they are confirmed here: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgCon_2009_Lightning_talks
Hope to see you at PgCon!
