PGDay Ecuador 2011

How can we measure the use of PostgreSQL in some country or region? it seems that the level of support for an event is a good way!


In June 2008 i suggested the idea of making a PGDay here with little or no response. I have suggested the same idea all years since then with similar response, but this year i had a very good response... we got a University to lend us their instalations and 10 talks without considering my own. We organize it in just a few month with little resources and just local people. It looks like a good start.


I'm planning to talk about the community work, how people can help and how much people trust in PostgreSQL. Some other people will talk about 9.1's features, plpython, cluster and replication tools and other things; so we are going from one people wanting to talk to several people covering a few areas... 


yeah! we are growing! i hope next year we can invite people from outside, i didn't do that this time because of lack of money and time (but if someone can afford the expenses and can move thing in his agenda, i can schedule it ;)


For now, i'm happy to anounce that PGDay Ecuador will be held at October the 8th, 2011
