[lug] next talks

[Kevin Kempter]

Hi Jeff;

I'd be up for doing another PostgreSQL related talk, maybe a more specific area 
like one of the following:

- Setting up a PostgreSQL Warm Standby Server
- SLONY
- PostgreSQL PITR (Point in Time Recovery)
- Setting up a PostgreSQL Backup/Recovery Strategy 

Or some other PostgreSQL area...

/Kevin
