William, You are such a geek! But I love it! It sounds like it will be a good session but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. I'll be all morning at DoH so I'll probably need to come back and do some work.

The plan is 3pm on Friday the 15th of March at Peter Mac, unless someone has a sudden urge to host. I will confirm room details shortly. At this stage I'm expecting to do an open-source show-and-tell on what I have found out about running MySQL and/or PostgreSQL as a database with Pentaho Community Edition for Reporting with Kettle for ETL to give a flavour of how they compare to the SQL Server stack. Any suggestions on good development & administration tools for MySQL and PostgreSQL most welcome. Similarly any suggestions on an open access data set! Otherwise I will just make up some data for the reports. As an additional challenge I am going to try to do this using Amazon EC2 micro instances that fit within their free tier, so that promises to be entertaining even if the other tools are not.
