This came through my inbox. I thought it may be of interest to PostgreSQL/PostGIS/ArcGIS 9.3 users in the Pacific Northwest.
Request for proposals: PDXPUG PgDay, due by June 20,2008
PDXPUG PgDay will be on July 20, 2008. This is a one-day conference happening the day before OSCON at the Oregon Convention Center.
We are inviting anyone who has something interesting to share about PostgreSQL to send us a proposal!
We’d like to have at one 1.5 hour tutorial and up to five 45-minute talks.
We welcome talks in any of the following areas:
* Case studies involving interesting and innovative uses of PostgreSQL from an application developer, PostgreSQL developer or administrative user perspective
* Converting from other databases to PostgreSQL
* How-to accomplish database administration tasks (partitioning, backups, replication, writing stored procedures)
* Practical advice on configuration, monitoring and database managementWe will notify submitters of their acceptance by June 25, 2008.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at PDXPUG PgDay!
