Postgres folks, consider the 2011 MySQL conference
I’d like to encourage everyone in the Postgres world to submit session proposals to the 2011 O’Reilly MySQL conference. It’ll be a different event this year. We’re looking for a breadth as well as a depth of proposals on technologies beyond MySQL, and in the speaker selection committee conference calls, PostgreSQL was on the top of the list. I am on the committee. Your high-quality submissions will get a fair and unbiased vote from me, and I think I can speak for the rest of the committee too. There are no ideologues this year. Postgres is a great open-source database that deserves to be heard in this audience, where it’s been absent the last couple of years. This is a great conference for Postgres to have a significant showing.
What sort of topics would be interesting?

CTEs. Extensions. Replication. Configuration. Using with Rails. I don’t favor “how-to-scale” topics because I think it’s done often and poorly.

Seconded, between 4ish MySQL forks and memcached, nobody will even notice anything strange if we slip in a few Pg talks. (And we’ve had Pg folks in 2008 already.)
