Talks

This page contains a list of PostgreSQL talks I've given (alone or together with others) at various public conferences. If you want to use any of these talks in part or in total, please contact me and we can work something out. I'm absolutely not against them being used by others, just let me know ahead of time, and please credit me (and others included, in those cases) :-)

If you're interested in having me give one of these talks, or another one, just email me.
