Success of PG Day France 2013

Guys,

Just a few words to let you know that the PG Day France 2013 happened
last week in Nantes.

With 115 registered attendees, we saw a 50% increase in registration
from last year. These numbers are extremely good, especially if you
think that on the very same week there was a big train workers strike
AND a big air traffic controllers strike (Bienvenue en France!...).
Without those 2 major strikes we would have gone even higher.

Anyway this success shows that PostgreSQL is making impressive progress
in France. Approx. half of the attendees worked for national agencies,
while the rest were from private companies. Some big French companies
are switching from Oracle to PostgreSQL. I hope I'll be allowed to give
more details in the near future.
