PGDay.EU 2009 - approaching fast!

2009/10/20 Dave Page <dpage@postgresql.org>:

PGDay.EU 2009 is approaching fast - have you registered yet?

Europe's premier PostgreSQL conference organised by PostgreSQL Europe
and PostgreSQLfr will be held on November 6th and 7th at ParisTech
Telecom in Paris, France. With an outstanding lineup of talks over the
two days of the event, with tracks in English and French, this is the
must-attend PostgreSQL conference this year!

http://2009.pgday.eu/start

Speakers will include well known community members and developers such
as Simon Riggs, Gavin M. Roy, Gabriele Bartolini, Dimitri Fontaine,
Joshua Drake and Guillaume Lelarge speaking on a wide range of topics.
The full schedule can be seen at http://2009.pgday.eu/schedule

If you are planning on attending, please register as soon as possible
at http://2009.pgday.eu/register. Early registration will help us
ensure you get a T-Shirt and conference goodies!

Details of the venue and hotels in the local area can also be found on
the conference website. If you have yet to book your accommodation, I
would suggest doing so as soon as possible as Paris is quite busy at
this time of year.

And there's special hotel rates at the Kyriad Hotel, in Porte d'Ivry
for those attending the conference. See http://2009.pgday.eu/hotels
for details.

I've put the English schedule (Désolé utilisateurs Français) on a
calendar for my own use, but made it public in case anyone else might
find it helpful, like syncing it with a mobile device etc:

XML: http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/dp7jfelvcbtmks1m021c6rt3dk@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic

iCal: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/dp7jfelvcbtmks1m021c6rt3dk@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

By the way, does anyone have a Time Turner
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Turner#Time-Turners) they can loan
to me for this event? ;)

I gather from another Irish attendee that this one is booked out now.

Sure ? You *have to* ask for the ParisTech rooms (there were still 10 rooms
available on friday, only for Paristech) Else the hotel is full.

Not sure... I'll pass the word on - thanks for the tip. :-)

Yes, it was booked out, but they said I should ring back the next day,
which suggested that they may have expected some cancellations or
something. In any case, I booked the Kyriad Cachan.

The PgDay EU site says that the Kyriad Cachan is 1.5km from Paris, but
I doubt it - Wikipedia says Cachan is 6.7km from Paris city centre. In
any case, it's near the RER, so it shouldn't be a problem.

For info, there are also Postgres people staying at the following
hotels. I have no idea of the quality of these though, and there are
no special deals for the conference:

Best Western Nouvel Orleans
25 Avenue Du General Leclerc, Paris, France, 75014
33 (1) 43278020

Hotel Sophie Germaine
12 rue Sophie Germain, Paris, France

I called on Saturday afternoon. I was sure to specify that I was a
Paristech member, but they were still apparently fully booked.

It is a little farther out, but puts you right in Paris.
