I'm willing, but only questionably qualified. :) I've been playing with pl/java a bit, and have a list of things that I'd like to do to it to either add features or make it easier to use, but due to some lack of time recently, I haven't been able to do as much as I would have liked. If there's interest, I'll post my wishlist. Maybe if there's some interest in my ideas, I could do a talk on a) implementing some of them, and b) "future directions for pl/java" :) Having said all that, I probably only fall under "enthusiastic amateur" rather than "zen guru" as far as pl/java goes. I do have both extensive java (day job) and some pgsql backend hacking (enums) experience. So I dunno if I'm qualified to give a talk on pl/java (at least not today, maybe in May though). It would seem a waste of a good opportunity to get the word out about both postgresql and pl/java to the java crowd though, so perhaps a partially qualified candidate would be better than no talk at all. Anyway, if no-one who has hacked on it longer than I have been puts their hand up, I'd love to do it, as long as Josh, as the sponsor, is willing. :) Cheers Tom
