FrOSCon 2008
Monday Aug 25, 2008
FrOSCon 2008 was a real success (http://www.froscon.org).
We have had lots of visitors at the PostgreSQL booth and also my workshop was full. The same with Bernd's talk. For both my workshop and Bernd's talk we got lots of positive feedback.
At the PostgreSQL booth most visitors asked for migration from MySQL to PostgreSQL. Also often we got questions about HA/Cluster/Replication. Additionally there was a huge interest in Postgis.
Lots of visitor complained that tools like CMS tools just offer an interface to MySQL and not to PostgreSQL.
Additionally OpenOffice community asked for a native interface for OpenOffice to PostgreSQL. We will discuss this internally at Sun.
As usual, lots of visitors just visited the booth to let us know how they like PostgreSQL and how less problems they have with it.
Lots of visitors also asked me about the situation with PostgreSQL at Sun and when I told that Sun will offer PostgreSQL support รก la MySQL support in future they were very interested how to get it.
Thanks to the FrOSCon organisation who made this great event possible.
I think, when FrOSCon will grow further on, then I can see that it will be from international interest in 2010.
