Thread: PostgreSQL Conference 08 East!
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
It's that time, after a wildly successful conference last October in
Portland, Oregon we are now beginning to ramp up for the East Coast 08
conference! The current plan is to host a two day conference of
Tutorials (new) and Talks on March 28th and 29th. The currently
designated location for the conference is the Univserity of Maryland.
This will be confirmed within two weeks.
For now, we are making a call out to the community, it was the hands of
the community that made the October conference great. It will be the
hands of the community that makes the March conference great!
We have already had a couple of offers for help which we are grateful
for but we want to make sure that we open this up for anyone who may
want to help organize the conference. Of specific interest are
community members that are geographically close to the Maryland area.
We will need boots on the ground to help us follow up with others (such
as student unions etc..) to make sure we kick this conference off
without a hitch.
As a reminder all proceeds from the Conference series go directly to
PostgreSQL via Software in the Public Interest, a 501(c)3 non-profit,
and will be used for PostgreSQL development, support and advocacy.
So if you are on the east coast and can help with organizing this
conference please let me know.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

I just checked... that is Sweet16 weekend for NCAA tournament, but games will not be in the area, so that is not an issue. I'm guessing the facilities will be donated, but it'll be pretty pricey for attendees to stay and move about since it will be the week after spring break, and nothing is cheap in that area unless you are a UM student and there is no incremental cost to attend. I'd like to send three people, but I'd also like to keep the cost of the trip to less than a MS-SQL workgroup processor license. Perhaps a future East coast event could just take over an Embassy Suites and have the entire event self contained. At least in a place like that, you have a hot breakfast included, and free drinks from 5 to 7 or so. Sponsors can hang banners over the rails. It's just a matter of driving or flying in. Networking opportunities are multiplied, and if you get tired, you just take the elevator back to your room. -- Walter

The other geek advantage is that the rooms sleep 3 easy (two full beds
+ couch bed)
