[HACKERS] I am back, catching up on email
I returned on Wednesday from my trip to Australia and India. (I skipped London.) I returned early because my brother-in-law died on May 5 (for details see http://momjian.us/main/news.html). Anyway, I am slow catching up on email for that reason. I should be caught up by Tuesday/Wednesday. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
[HACKERS] I am back online again
As part of a network reconfiguration at my home, I was offline from Monday at 9AM to Tuesday at 2PM EST. My backup ISP did a poor job and rejected all my email sent to me during that period. If you emailed and got a rejection, please resent it now. I have moved to a new backup ISP that hopefully will be more reliable in the future. Sorry again. I will read the email archives to catch up. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

[HACKERS] I am back from Germany and Armenia
I have returned from Germany and Armenia. I will post a summary of my trip soon. I am going to take tomorrow off and start catching up on email starting Monday. I estimate it will take me 3-5 days to catch up. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

[HACKERS] I am back
I have spent the past 10 days doing work for SRA, my employer, and attending LinuxWorld in New York City. Our BOF was well attended, with 35 people, and there were a lot of good PostgreSQL usage reports at the event. I have told people to post their news items to the web site or advocacy. I have 2k message to read, and hopefully will read them all before I have to leave again on Tuesday. I don't have anything scheduled after this, so I will be around after February 6. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
Re: [HACKERS] I am back
That really should be up to you. Conferences are a great way to lift the project's profile, and PostgreSQL talks are very popular and well attended. However, as your email seems to suggest, they're pretty time consuming and generally pretty far away from home. I was definitely feeling this last year. I don't mind the trips. I usually look forward to it, then a few days before, I dread it because my life has to stop while I travel, then when I return I realize how valuable the trip was, and I catch up on my email. The only downside is my being away from email for a week every month. I read some email while I am away, but I don't have the time to read most of it because the trips are usually busy times for me. I'll do the trips - unfortunately it'll cost me $A2000 each time to fly to the states economy :P Chris ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

I have finished the training in Atlanta, and I am back on the job; going through email now. Seems I have events scheduled every month or every other month for the forseeable future. I have Mexico in September, Germany in November, and Denmark in January. I also have possible events for October and February. Each event is roughly one week. I have had luck in getting local folks to represent PostgreSQL at many local events, and our advocacy team is doing that too. However, it is often necessary for me to attend if they want a lot of PostgreSQL content or need a big name for the event. I have to decide if I should continue in that role for the project. I do think it is important for our visibility and for growing the community.

You can use my PostgreSQL: Past, Present, Future talk for that. What I usually do is to talk on the phone with the presenter beforehand and go over the slides and any questions they have, and they can make the presentation. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
