Actually, I don't think that merging two conferences is a good idea at
all. Debconf itself has actually a size large enough to almost loose
overview about the different people. (That doesn't mean anything
negative about postgresql conference - actually, if we would like to
merge our conference with another, postgresql would be high on my list.)
Also, merging two existing conferences means merging two different work
cultures from two different teams.
Also, I doubt that we should base a decision on the fact that perhaps
postgresql is willing to run a conference together with us if the
debconf organizers would in reality choose another location.
Cheers,
Andi
