Good to have you; unfortunately you just missed PgCon, which was held at
the University of Ottawa last week. The list of talks which were held
is up at http://www.pgcon.org and many of those talks now have the
slides uploaded as well. Other interesting places of information are
http://planet.postgresql.org, the PostgreSQL IRC channel (#postgresql on
irc.freenode.net) and, of course, http://www.postgresql.org where the
PostgreSQL documentation resides (which, in my view at least, is quite
excellent).

If you intended that sarcastically (hard to tell through email), then
you might be happy to learn that PostgreSQL is written entirely in C and
we could always use more C developers hacking on the backend. :)

Happy to have you!

Thanks,
