PostgreSQL Conference East is being held at historic Drexel University

proceeds benefit United States PostgreSQL. This is the second call for
papers. 

The call for papers ends Feb 23rd and speakers will be notified on the
27th. You may submit your talk here:

We are looking for a wide range of topics. Can you speak on any of the
below topics? What about a different topic? As long as it is centered
around PostgreSQL we want to hear about it.

python folks to talk about working PostgreSQL from Python or particular
challenges that are faced by supported PostgreSQL with Python.

Writing Procedural Languages
Creating types
The planner

   Turbo Gears
   Django

Solutions:

  Do you have a successful case study to present? 
  How did you solve a problem with PostgreSQL?
  Do you have an Open Source product that runs on PostgreSQL?

As always we let the presenters drive the feel of the conference. If you
have an itch, let's figure out how to scratch it (as long as it is with
PostgreSQL). Submit your paper today:
