[Benchmarking] Re: [Foss4g2010] Re: Starting preparation for technology comparison presentations

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks for the offer Xavier,
There were a few abstracts for Database comparisons proposed to be 
presented at FOSS4G 2010 [1].

After the selection process is complete, I expect there will be more 
activity discussing database comparisons, and I expect you will hear 
back from me (or someone else) in a few weeks time.
