I just noticed this call for presentations:

Call for Participation Opens for the First Annual
O'Reilly European Open Source Convention

I mention it because

Tracks and topics at EuroOSCON include:

The future may be Open, but the call for papers is closed. Apparently the
deadline was May 23.

Sorry for getting you all excited. I guess it would still be worth looking
at the agenda when it's published, to see what Ingres presentations are on
it.

I bet "programmers are evil" won't be there.. LOL ;-)

If the convention is just getting some recognition here, maybe there are no
ingres presentations? :-(

What makes you so sure? I may send boats to Edinburgh (well, Dalkeith
anyway) to bring a million angry Tonys to march through the streets of
Amsterdam.

That is a worry, but there is a very large Ingres community that has never
looked to c.d.i. for its information. Anyway, I'm asking friends for
favours, and there may yet be a way to get on the agenda.
