Announcement and Call for Papers: PGDay Australia 2017

Hi All,

We are pleased to announce that PGDay Australia 2017 will be held on
November 17 in Melbourne. We would like to establish an annual PostgreSQL
conference in the region, creating a network among the local user groups in
Australia and New Zealand. We aim to start up a non for profit organisation
that will manage the future Postgres community events.
I hope you all will be excited and ready to give a contribution to the
PGDay OZ this year and be part of the organisation in the future.
