Re: PostgreSQL Anniversary Summit, Call for Contributions

Just curious, but what is involved in these "invitations"?  For instance, 
is there a limit on # of invitations any one person(?) or company can 
issue?  Are there any legal implications of issuing such an invitation?  I 
could imagine some pretty hot water if "pre 9/11" someone were to invite 
bin Laden to a conference, and had the twin towers go down while he was 
here, for instance ...
