Call for Papers, PostgreSQL Session #7, September, 24th

Paris, April 20th 2015

After six successful sessions dedicated to the new features of
PostgreSQL 9.0 (February 2011), to PostGIS (June 2011 & September 2014),
to replication systems (February 2012), to migration from Oracle to
PostgreSQL (October 2012), and to PostgreSQL performance (March 2013),
we'd like to announce that the 7th PostgreSQL Session will be held on
September 24th, 2015, in Paris, France.

This year, another place, but always the same format! This day of
lectures will be dedicated especially to the next version of PostgreSQL,
but not exclusively!

We're launching a call for papers for this event. You may now submit
your talks, in English or in French. Each talk should last 30 minutes

subjects:

* What's New in PostgreSQL
* Use cases

* Performance Tuning
* Backup and Restore
* High-Availibity

Talks can be either: a case study, a Proof of Concept, a tutorial, a
benchmark, a presentation of a new feature, etc. Of course, we're open
to propositions on any other migration related topics (monitoring,
hardware, replication, etc.) !

The submission deadline is June 15, 2015.
