I'm very interested in Chris's PostgreSQL talk. <br>
<br>
I just looked at the Brumcon link to attempt to work out if
Wolvescon is my cup of tea. I'm not that interested in deep
technical talks as I don't have that much technical knowledge. I'm
much more interested in applications. I guess I could show some
projects written using Gambas & Basic4Android (including a
couple of mine). Would that be appropriate for Wolvescon?<br>

<div>Hi Ron<br>
<br>
</div>
I like the idea and will come along.<br>
<br>
</div>
I can roll out my talk on DNS, if needs must,
but its a little dull.<br>
<br>
</div>
However if people are interested, I'm thinking
of putting together a talk on PostgreSQL.<br>
</div>
This would be more along the lines of what make
PostgreSQL so awesome and why you <br>
should throw away MySQL and all this new fangled
NoSQL stuff.<br>
<br>
</div>
As such I'm thinking of covering things like:<br>
</div>
- Why you should care about your data<br>
</div>
- How MySQL violates your constraints and some of its
amusing oddities<br>
</div>
- Database functions, how handy they are and what
awesome things you can do with them<br>
</div>
- Flexible schemas using the new JSON type<br>
<br>
</div>
I'll try to keep the talk light and amusing hopefully.<br>
<br>
</div>
Would people be interested in such a talk?<br>

) and we have a date of
Saturday, 30th<br>
November as a possibility.
We have a venue (with a
bar) available on<br>
that date.<br>
<br>
In order to do this we
need to start getting
things moving ASAP, so<br>
firstly, who would be
interested in getting
involved?<br>
<br>
Secondly, do you have a
talk you could give (I
will probably roll out my<br>
IPv6 talk). We want to
know that we have the
talks before we start<br>
committing ourselves.<br>
