I would love to see this happen, and am more than happy to be there and help with setting up and tearing down. <br><br>Zedd<br>209-565-2285<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 8:56 PM, Josh Berkus <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:josh@agliodbs.com">josh@agliodbs.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Hi, I'm Josh Berkus, I showed up for the meeting last night (which<br>
wasn't nearly as dramatic as it was promised to be).<br>
<br>
I'm also one of the organizers of the San Francisco PostgreSQL Users'<br>
Group. �There is a new version of our open source database coming out<br>
soon, and we'd like to hold a day-long "testfest" to beta-test the new<br>
software in late March-early April.<br>
<br>
Ideally, we'd like to have the event on a Saturday. �March 20 has been<br>
proposed, but April 3 or 10 would work too.<br>
<br>
We'd have 15-20 people and an assortment of computers and networking<br>
equipment. �We'd also make food in the new kitchen (yaaaay!) and share<br>
it with anyone else who happened to be there. �Other NB folks who want<br>
to learn about software testing and databases are, of course, very<br>
welcome. �If possible, we'd want to use the projector as well, but we<br>
can bring our own if it's an issue.<br>
<br>
This event would be tied via internet video with other test-fests<br>
elsewhere in the world, if we can make the technology work.<br>
<br>
I've spoken with one of the organizers of the weekly Phasor event, and<br>
they're OK with our event.<br>
<br>
So yes/no? �Preference on dates? �A member with keys I can liase with?<br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. for people who don't know me, I'm a database hacker (PostgreSQL<br>
project), open source geek, amateur chef, and ceramic artist (BFA,<br>
Claremont Colleges). �I found NoiseBridge through Liz Henry, although it<br>
turns out I already know several members from other places. �Link-mania:<br>
