FWD: 2nd OSDN DB Summit Call For Papers

Here is the CFP for OSDN's next Open Source Database get-together.
The first one, held last fall in San Jose, seemed pretty successful.

Note that although the published abstract submission deadline is past,
they still seem to be hungry for speakers... feel free to send in a
talk proposal if the mood strikes.  I believe they'll pay travel
expenses for speakers.
