Greetings.  I'm a big fan of Durus and would like to see a talk about it at
PyCon in Feb 2007.  The deadline for submitting talk proposals is fast
approaching, Oct 31.

Searching talk catalogs of past conferences I see that a Durus talk was given
in 2005 but not in 2006.  Since development of Durus is strong, I think it
would be a good topic.

One item that people ask me repeatedly is why use an OODB over an RDBM.  They
see how to store objects quite easily but then want information about how an
OODB allows for more powerful indexing schemes, how to handle schema migration
and what about replication.  Perhaps a talk about "*this* is what you can with
an OODB that you can't (easily) with an RDBM" would be a good topic.

To submit a talk proposal, visit the following page to create a login account
and enter a brief description of your talk:
