[California] Another Possible Event

[Brian Hamlin]

I would be ore enthusiastic about it, but, I demoed PostGIS at the 
Postgres booth there 2 years ago. I noted that there just weren't very 
many casual convention goers that were taking in the spatial msg. Of 
course, very particular people already in the industry did stop by, but 
thats not the same as outreach, more like professional networking.

Its possible that a show floor booth may not be the right vehicle. 
Sponsoring a BoF sort of thing might be another option.
