Fujitsu is our platinum sponsor. Heroku and EDB, Enterprise DB, are our gold sponsors. Salesforce is a big sponsor of the Unconference. NTT have been a sponsor for a number of years, and they brought something in rather unique.
And it's in these yellow bags. Some of you have seen them, don't spoil it. CrunchyData are sponsoring the videos, which you'll be able to see later, to be able to see the talks you couldn't see because you're in the talk you really wanted to see. Second Quadrant have been a sponsor for a number of years.
PG Experts are here with Stacy, who is my, keeps me alive. SRA OSS, thank you. Citustated, JackDB, Intellirad, they're looking for people in Montreal. Postgres Professional have brought some very interesting items for sale.
Red Pill LynPro, you know, Magnus, I'm sorry. PostgresQL Consulting, TurkSat, and NM. You get a look at the website to find out what NM is. Anyone ever heard of Adam Thompson before?
He was in the opening session. He didn't, okay. Adam Thompson does a lot of help with the website and hotels. Jennifer Russell basically helps me out with all the travel and herder of cats. And Stacy does a lot of help too and a lot of different things.
And we have Greg. Yeah, Greg, thank you. And Matthew, who's not here. Please thank Greg. He's been helping with the video. Airport, anyone flying out Sunday, 9 AM or so?
Okay, never mind. Postgres Open, someone asked me to put this in here, who? Okay, yep, those guys. So, Call for Papers is open, put your talks in now, hurry.
Insert Auction here, this is the fun part. And I have pictures because it's really hard to see these things down here. I have a notebook to set, excuse me.
These are very unique items, imported, especially from Japan. Do I hear any bids? We're going to start at $5. They're chocolate, basically, is what they are. It's chocolate, chocolate, $5 here. Do I hear 10?
They're like chocolate mushrooms. This little bit here is cookies. This little bit is cookies. $5, $10, yes. The question was, are they magic mushrooms? Yes, they're very magic.
About that many, you see. I'm going to guess about 15. What? Yeah, yes. I'm sorry, for the people that have never been to the charity auction. We auction off anything and everything, including lost and found items. We once auctioned off a man's coat to himself for $45?
$90. And he was happy to pay that, too. Because the money goes to charity. The money goes to the auto emission, who do a lot of help with homelessness and drug rehab, etc., and if you walk down to the market, you've walked by them.
So we're at $15 for these chocolate treats. $15, who got the bid, was it you, was it you? Who had the $15 bid? $15 from what, $20, $20 from Chris?
20 going once, sold to Chris Brown. Thank you, Chris. You may not have the cash. You may not have the credit card, but we can arrange something. We take PayPal, credit card, and cash, any currency of cash as well.
So if you want to pay in US dollars or Canadian dollars, that's okay. We have a little Sloanie. Who brought this in, please? I was told, but I've forgotten. Thank you.
So this little Sloanie is up for sale. A cloud? Oh, is that what it is? This is the cloud. Oh, elephant and the cloud. $20 from Josh. Do I hear it, $30, $30, $40, do I hear $50, $50, do I hear $60, $60, $70, anyone, $70?
No, no, no, no, okay, $70, $70, $75, anyone, anyone going for $75? $75 back here from Dennis. $75 going once, $80, $85, $90, $95, $100, $100, $105, anyone, $105?
Okay, we're jumping again. Now, $110, anyone for $110 for Sloanie and the cloud? $115, okay, $120, anyone?

$200 going once, $210, $220, $220 going once, $220 going twice, sold to Lacey, thank you.
Next, we have a number of PG Day, yes, or US, if you want to pay US, whichever you have handy. Okay, okay, we have one, two, three, four, five, six PG Day t-shirts, but we're only
going to sell auction one off, all the others will go for the same price. Sizes, all extra large, so extra large Asia.
All right, so there's the front, there's the back, start at 10 bucks, 10, you want them all?
That'll, that'd be $40 for four, that'd be $40 for four, okay, all extra large,
that size on me, in private or do you want, you can try, you can try it on here if you want, so $10, do I hear 15? Okay, Robert gets this one for 10,
anyone want to pay five for one of them, five, anyone? It's going to charity, remember, okay, we'll come back, what, five, okay, Mr. Frost, anyone else, anyone else?
Dennis will buy one for 11, well, we could go the other way, who will pay Dennis not to try it on?
Anyone else want one? It's charity, come on, you have foreign currency in your pocket that you need to get, okay, 10, another one from 10, we have, let me see here, we have two left,
I'll buy one for 15 if someone will outbid me, no one going to outbid me at 15? Okay,
you will, you will Dennis, you'll buy the existing one at 16, okay, so I'll buy one at 15 and Dennis is changing his price to 16, thank you, and we have one left, the last PG day,
okay, this is XXL, this one's XXL, okay, 20, there's another XXL in here too, it appears we made a mistake, there's different sizes, okay, next item is a very rare
pin, more importantly it is a broken pin, as you can see, and I wish to point out it's number 41, okay, five bucks, who's going to pay five bucks, five bucks here, do I hear 10,
10 anywhere, 10 over here, do I hear 15, 15, do I hear 20 over here, Dennis, 20, 20 over here, do I hear 25 anywhere, 25 from Robert, 25 going once, 30 anyone, 30 over here,
35, 35, do I hear 40, 40, sorry, 35 going once, 35 going twice, 40, 40, $40, anyone going to pay more than $40, anyone going to pay 45, yes you do, but that is a
really good idea, you should have mentioned that earlier, okay, $45 just for the pin, we'll sell the, yes it's a gift with purchase, that's a theme we'll use a lot today, limited
edition, $45, anyone going to pay 50 for a broken pin, 41, the number on the back is 41, 041, 45, 45 was the last bid I believe, do we hear 50, 45 going once, 45 going twice,
sold, what's your first name please, Marco, thank you, Marco, Marco, did I get that right, next item, you may not be able to read that from back there,
and we have three of them, I'm sure you could use them to clean anything you wanted, now I wish to point out that there were different colours,
there's sort of like a greeny blue one, do you reckon that's, and there's a pink one, and there's a green one, I want to point out that Oracle is right
on the handle here as well, okay, it's not just on the packaging, it's on the handle, okay, so what we'll do is we'll bid for one, and the person who comes down gets their
choice of colours, so there's the three colours at the moment, the first one's the most valuable because you get your choice of colours, but then they become progressively rarer, therefore the cost goes up, so who forgot their toothbrush at home, did anyone forget their
toothbrush, Dennis you forget your toothbrush, so 10 bucks sounds reasonable for one of them, yeah 10 dollars, 15, 20, 25 at the back, 30, all right next bid will be 50, anyone paying 50 dollars, 50 right here, 60 anyone, thank you Dennis, 60 from Dennis,
is that right, did I skip a bid, all right, 65 anyone, 60 dollars to Dennis, 65 going once, sorry 60 going once, 60 going twice, sold to Dennis, what colour would you like sir,
you better come down here and choose your colour, because that's important, okay, who else wants one at that price, or what was the previous bid,
which one do you want, it is nice, you want the pink one, okay, yeah that's right, okay so there's two left, if you add 20 to your bid, he'll give you one,
so anyway 60 going once, 60 going twice, sold, thank you, now there are still some very big
items for sale, but don't forget about the feedback, okay, we're gonna sell, oh wait,
something much more serious, chocolate, sorry, white chocolate cookie, it's the last one,
anyone want the cookie, a dollar for the cookie, that's just change in your pocket, Peter gets it for a dollar, two dollars, three dollars, three dollars, three dollars, okay, anyone else three dollars, four dollars, okay, three, three, five, five,
six dollars, anyone, six, anyone, five dollars going once, five dollars going twice, sold to Mr. Peter, thank you, all right, anybody remember this piece of artwork from last year,
it was on the twitter site, Stacey drew this last year during the auction, and it sold for 45 dollars, and then I added my signature to it and I got it 10, it went to Turnitin, it was in Turnitin offices all year and they brought it back and offered it up again for
resale, this time it's in a glass frame and it's titled at the bottom, so I think we should start at 40 bucks, Turnitin offers 40 dollars for their own artwork, do I hear 45, 45 from
the man sitting beside Turnitin, 45 going once, 45 going twice, 50, it's appreciating, come on, it's international artwork, it's been to the States and back,
there are two signatures on it, one is the artist and the other is the conference organizers, we could add more signatures if you want, there's actually a flaw in the artwork that when the conference, on the canvas there's a flaw, the conference organizer signed the incorrect year,
which makes it even more valuable, 260, we're doing 260 now,
and for the audio we're selling off the t-shirt from 2006, I don't know you would want to add
signatures to it, nobody adds signatures because it's sort of like, it's a point in time, it's a write only log, it's 10 years old, it was the first Canadian Postgres conference,
so we were at 250 were we, 250 to Dennis I believe, 250 going once,
260, I'm sorry I got it wrong, 260, 260 going once, 275, 275, we're at 275 now, it's very rare, there's only one of these, 300, okay I told you we get to 300 eventually,
300, sorry now say that again please, for the audio it proved that Tom Lane's signature
was worth 300 because the bidding was at 700, Tom realized he'd forgotten to sign it, then bidding jumped to 700, okay so where are we at now, $300, $300, $300 going once,
$300 going twice, sold, thank you, is that, put your hand up, the third last cookie,
the second last, is there still a cookie, yeah it's the new second last cookie, someone was $7, $7 still, you're still interested in this for $7, $7, okay,

yes, ah, I found them, I told you they were in there, yeah I know you did, but I didn't know where they were, here, can you get this one, 28th birthday postcard poster

350 going once, 350 going twice, sold to Lacy, what, what, what, almost everyone, if you've ever been to a post guest conference, you're on this poster,
all right, but we're sold, 350, okay, could you roll that up for me please, so Lacy, so we have one, two, three, four, five, six, we have seven more of these posters,
but none of them are signed, they're all the same as that, anyone want one for 75 bucks, anyone want one for 80, 100, okay, we'll do it this way, we'll do it this way, how much did that sell for, 350, I'm going to start naming numbers down from 350,

Dennis, Dennis, I'm not going to walk over there with each one, so there's one there, oh wait, we have a Microsoft mouse, the battery obviously works because the light's on on the bottom, anyone recognize this as being theirs, because the bidding goes better if you admit
it's yours, I believe so, I don't know if it's Bluetooth or not, but I think it is, I suspect it is, wireless of some form or another, five bucks anyone, five bucks,
okay, we'll pass on that one, we've got an adapter, it's a plug adapter, it's not a voltage converter, but it's a plug adapter, anyone missing this, anyone need one, slightly cracked,

take them, pick the size you want, they're extra large and up, there are larges, maybe, yeah, there's some larges and there's all kinds of bags, if you don't take them away, we're gonna give them to the auto emission and to the food bank, which is not a bad thing, I'm just saying
that's what we're going to do with them, oh, we're almost done, because that's the last slide, any questions, comments, things we should have done different, if you don't want to say it out loud, send me an email, put it in the comments here, if you have things that you want to say about
the conference and you'd rather say it anonymously, you can do it through there, hopefully we'll see it, I say that because there's an awful lot of comments, but we do go through them, what we need, sorry, auction total is $2,296, they're next month,
so yeah, I tweeted about that, I said, you know, beat PG Con, so why don't we get to an even $2,300,
