Lloyd, didn't you have a conversation with Josh about banners at one time?

Hmm, I've got to start collecting equipment, not to mention those elephant pins, to put to the side.

Good question. The traditional stuff has been flyers etc using the postgres elephant image. There are graphics, icons etc on the postgresql site that you can have a look at.

Now we're talking, that would be extremely useful. I should add that to my list of stuff I need to bring too.

Yup, definitely good to have, just in case

Well, I'm planning to bring my laptop but if I do get accepted for talks we'll need to have a couple of others. Got to figure out what it is we're putting on display too.

Excellent. What's the OS? What do you have on it right now?
