Doh. Your recent reply to Jason makes a lot more sense now that I
realize that the "we" meant PostgreSQL, and not Python. :>

That'd be good to resolve so that this event can be accessible to
general Python enthusiasts. Is there an issue of badged access to the
venue or the costs? If it's the later, I'm sure that if a funding target
was published, something could be resolved with donations and
sponsorships to make this work.

PS: I enjoyed your "Practical PostgreSQL" book and was just looking at
your conference announcement post this morning when adding the event to
Calagator. Sorry for not realizing who you were sooner.
