I'll just throw in a quick note -- we have tried out having panels in the
past at some of our events. I have personally yet to see a single panel at
*any* postgres event that wasn't completely crap. Regardless of who's on
it. So prepare yourselves for having to do some pretty hard convincing work
to get around that :) There's a reason we stopped even trying. (That said,
I'm not on the talk committee, so it's not *me* you have to convince, but
there are most likely others with similar experiences)
