I'd like to set up a BOF with any of the developers who are interested
in Boston at the Linux World Expo coming up at the end of February.  I
don't have anything specific in mind and would like to get something
going.  Any takers?

Some of the things I'm currently working on are OLTP and DSS performance
testing of PostgreSQL 8.0 with futexes on ia-32 (and hopefully ia64)
platforms, and more filesystems with different mount options.

Sure, I would like to be a part of it.  I could talk about our 8.0
features and perhaps what we expect for 8.1.

Is there a separate list for features that missed the 8.0 cutoff and
are slated for 8.1?  For non-specific 8.n, n>0?

Cheers,

No, not really.  The only things I think we know we want for 8.1 is
better integrated auto-vacuum and 2-phase commit.

Neato!

Those are quite significant features, definitely worth another
release.  Is there some way to mark this kind of stuff on the TODO
list?  Right now things are marked, essentially, "might get done
eventually," and "handled in the coming release."  Maybe some marker
like "slated for version m.n" would be good. :)

Also, is there a separate patch queueueue for "things that didn't make
the upcoming release?"

Cheers,
D

What about the User Space quota patch?   I though that one was pending review 
as well.

And the completion of exception-handling for functions based on savepoints.

If we actually had such a schedule and people paid to meet it, such
markings might mean something.  The truth of the matter is that the
TODO list is just a collection of things that some people think might
be good things to work on eventually.  Reading more into it than that
is a mistake, because there is no schedule.

What about it?  We never actually got one, according to my mailbox.

I was a tad concerned about the speed penalty associated with possibly
checking during every commit, but in the absence of seeing a patch it's
impossible to say if that worry is justified or not.

Re: [HACKERS] Call for BOFs Linux World Expo Boston 

I agree with Tom on both points, userspace quote and TODO list items.
