Thread: Newbie question about various convention content
I see that there are two up and coming PostgreSQL conventions: http://www.postgresqlconference.org/ http://www.pgcon.org/2008/ I am curious, are these conventions similar in nature or are they different animals altogether? Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.

They are both PostgreSQL Conferences. PgCon is run by community member Dan Langille and is a for profit venture. It is tied to the BSDCon that he also runs. Although I have not gone, I have heard good things about it. It is held in Canada. PostgreSQL Conference is a community conference, run entirely by community members of which I am one of the organizers. 100% of the proceeds are 501c3 donations given to the PostgreSQL affiliated non-profit Software in the Public Interest. It is being held in College Park, Maryland.

Look for updates after Christmas. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
