Thread: April 3: Test-Fest Day
I hereby declare Saturday, April 3, PostgreSQL Test-Fest day. Get our your computers and get ready to test Version 9. We need *you* to spend a full day testing Postgres 9 in order to complete the Alpha/Beta testing period on time and release 9.0 as scheduled. Without your help testing many of the complex new features ... such as Hot Standby, Synchronous Replication, DO(), new PL/Perl, named parameters, new Listen/Notify and more ... we simply will not be able to release on time. There's far too much testing to be done for our few dozen major contributors to do it all. The San Francisco PostgreSQL Users' Group will be having a Test-Fest at Noisebridge on Mission Street in San Francisco all day April 3. A dozen or more of our members will be showing up with laptops, desktops and shelling into remote servers in order to test all of the Postgres 9 features. If you are in the Bay Area, we need you to attend! There will be free food and drink. RSVP on Meetup. If you don't live in the SF Bay Area, that's no excuse not to participate. First, if you have a local User Group, organize your own Test-Fest. SFPUG's planning page is on the wiki for you to use and copy. Further, SFPUG plans to have live streaming video of the Test-Fest so that users from all over the world (at least, those in compatible time zones) can participate in the Test-Fest from their own homes and offices.

I happily announce that we will follow SFPUG's Test Day here in Japan. The TestFest JP will be held at Tokyo 3:00 - 10:00 April 4 JST, which is equivalent to 11:00 - 18:00 April 3 PST, SFPUG's timetable. We are thinking about communicating with you SFPUG online as well as testing similar to topics on the SFPUG's wiki page. If you will stream something like ustream or twitter, let me know in advance so that we can prepare infrastructure to interact each other. Some of well-known hackers and contributors will also be there. For Japanese people, see JP version wiki pege: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/TestFest_For_9_JP Note that attendees are encouraged to register via ATND (see below on the wiki). We are very open now.
