PostgreSQL Conference Fall 2007 is a 1-day conference happening on October 20, 2007 on the beautiful Portland State University campus. PSU's Computer Science Graduate Student Council is graciously hosting an excellent group of speakers made up of prominent PostgreSQL consultants, developers and advocates. We've had incredible interest in our conference, and will be closing registration soon. If you haven't registered yet, do it now! http://www.postgresqlconference.org Registration is free for students, although we are asking for a $10 donation through the website for the after-party. For all others, the fee is $60 for the conference and dinner. All proceeds go directly to Software in the Public Interest, a 501(c)3 non-profit, and will be used for PostgreSQL advocacy.
