We&#8217;ve got an incredible group of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postgresqlconference.org\/\">speakers<\/a> lined up, and a great group of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postgresqlconference.org\/sponsor.html\">sponsors<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>The conference is free to students, $60 for everyone else.  We have a separate dinner everyone is welcome to for $10. <\/p>\n<p>The whole thing is a bargain for a full day of highly-technical talks and the opportunity to meet  contributors to the core of PostgreSQL, local Portland experts and a cadre of smarty pants database-lovers. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, we&#8217;re raising money for PostgreSQL advocacy efforts with all money going to the non-profit organization <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spi-inc.org\">Software in the Public Interest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we were working out the details for the schedule to add a talk from Neil Conway titled &#8220;Understanding Query Execution in PostgreSQL&#8221;, which will discuss the query planner and EXPLAIN. This will be great information for those of us who want to understand a bit more about query execution. <\/p>\n<p>Speaker bios and talk abstracts should be up soon. This week, I&#8217;ll be working on getting some women-sized tshirts (woo!), A\/V recording equipment and working on getting the word out at PSU that the event will be held there. I&#8217;d also like to drop some fliers off at Powells Technical, and maybe a few other user group events coming up. Let me know if you think I&#8217;ve missed a user group, or know of some other place I should drop fliers. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, we&#8217;ve got our next <a href=\"http:\/\/pugs.postgresql.org\/pdx\/\">PDXPUG<\/a> meeting on Thursday, September 20th &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/pugs.postgresql.org\/pdx\/archives\/000096.html\">Relational Algebra<\/a> with a couple PSU PhD candidates. Rumor is that there will be mixed drinks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joshua Drake, Josh Berkus and I are organizing PostgreSQL Conference Fall 2007 here in Portland, OR on October 20, 2007.
