We&#8217;re both super excited about getting the community together in Maryland.

They had an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.umlug.umd.edu\/meetings\/\">intro to PostgreSQL and MySQL meeting<\/a> in early November, and I&#8217;ve chatted a little with their enthusiastic President. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been in touch with the Computer Science department. Professor Louiqa Raschid has been invaluable &#8211; getting me in touch with the department head, Professor Larry Davis. The UMD CS department is now sponsoring us!  I&#8217;m looking forward to collaborating with the students and faculty to make this a fantastic conference.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua has also posted the members list for our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postgresqlconference.org\/contact\/\">conference and speakers committees<\/a>. If you have an idea for a talk or tutorial, please don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us! With the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postgresql.org\/developer\/beta\">8.3 beta available<\/a>, and the release just around the corner, there are so many things out there to talk about.  Keep the submissions coming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joshua Drake sent out the announcement for the PostgreSQL Conference East &#8217;08 just the other day.
