PGDay.EU 2009 - Call for lighting talks
Dave Page <dpage@pgadmin.org> — 2009-10-02T09:08:04Z
The PGDay.EU 2009 conference in Paris will include a series of lightning talks on Saturday the 7th November. This is your chance for five minutes of fame and glory, presenting any PostgreSQL-related topic you like! Interested, but not sure what you could speak on? How about: - A PostgreSQL tool or add-on that you've been hacking on - The activities of your local PostgreSQL User Group - How you use PostgreSQL at work or home - How you manage your PostgreSQL installations - Why you love PostgreSQL - Your PostgreSQL pet-peeve Please send your name, a couple of sentences about yourself and the title and abstract for your proposed talk to papers@pgday.eu. The closing date for submissions is Sunday 25th October. You will have five minutes (and not a second more!) to present your talk in English. For more information about the project, including the talk schedule and the registration information, please see the website at: http://2009.pgday.eu/ Regards, Dave

hi dave, here are some suggestions: Artificial intelligence PostgreSQL: We use PostgreSQL to run database driven neural networks as well as classification algorithms for a leading edge application. Our neural networks are running directly inside PostgreSQL. This shows that PostgreSQL is not just a database but a wonderful development environment as well. Full-Text-Indexing: We use PostgreSQL to run a full-text price search engine. PostgreSQL modifications: We are porting industrial applications from Informix to PostgreSQL. The goal is to run entire factories using PostgreSQL.

Are you sure you can redo this from scratch as a lightning talk? You'll bomb if you just try to compress a 45-minute presentation into the lightning talk format. > Full-Text-Indexing: > We use PostgreSQL to run a full-text price search engine. Neat! :) > PostgreSQL modifications: > We are porting industrial applications from Informix to PostgreSQL. > The goal is to run entire factories using PostgreSQL. Of this extensive subject, what can you do in lightning talk format? Maybe something more specific and attention-grabbing than the general "Porting from $proprietary_db," which is generally a 45-minute minimum, and a half-day seminar or longer is not unknown.

sure, squeezing is no problem at all. lightening talks are not about details anyway. so, all of them are nicely compressable into 5 minutes or less. especially the semantic thing might be interesting for people. it is something totally new. hans David Fetter wrote: > On Fri, Oct 02, 2009 at 12:13:05PM +0200, Hans-Juergen Schoenig wrote: > >> hi dave, >> >> here are some suggestions: >> >> Artificial intelligence PostgreSQL: >> We use PostgreSQL to run database driven neural networks as well as >> classification algorithms for a leading edge application.

Me too - thought perhaps I shouldn't mention that as the lightning talk organiser :-) -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
