PostgreSQL Conference Fall 2007 is a 1-day conference happening on
October 20, 2007 on the beautiful Portland State University campus.
PSU's Computer Science Graduate Student Council is graciously hosting
an excellent group of speakers made up of prominent PostgreSQL
consultants, developers and advocates.

We've had incredible interest in our conference, and will be closing
registration soon.

If you haven't registered yet, do it now!

Registration is free for students, although we are asking for a $10
donation for the after-party. For all others, the fee is $60 for the
conference and dinner. All proceeds go directly to Software in the
Public Interest, a 501(c)3 non-profit, and will be used for PostgreSQL
advocacy.
