What talk would get you to go to OSCon?

From

Hey folks,

I'm working with a few others to put together a solid line up of talks for
this years OSCon and we'd like to get a straw poll of what talks you would
most like to see.  Not just "that would be cool" but ones that would get you
to go book your plane tickets next weekend :-)  So far some folks have
suggested:

Slony
Getting started with Pg
High Availability
Dealing with big big big data
View/Functions
Indexing
Building a datawarehouse
Working with corporate contributors

If you have other ideas please feel free to chime in, we'd really like to see
an uptick in postgresql attendees.

I will be there.  Josh has asked me about a state of PostgreSQL talk,
and perhaps a talk about how the Win32 port was done.
