I arrived at the New Yorker yesterday to find that it was an excellent choice for our attendees to sleep. In the last couple of years they have renovated all the rooms and the hotel is quite nice. I have a double and will be here the next 12 days, yes that means I will be here on St. Patrick's day. For all those PostgreSQL Peeps that have never been …

With #PgEast just two weeks away I have been looking for every possible place that I can to advocate the conference. In doing so, I have been finding lots of interesting tidbits of information. For example, did you know (per Stefan/Mastermind) PostgreSQL is lucky to reach 15k tps per core for SIMPLE QUERIES, whereas MySQL can do upward of 30k tps per core for SIMPLE QUERIES? There is …

The session schedule is now up. We also have a new twitter account for the conference. Further, EFF has also offered a discounted membership for #PgEast attendees, more information can be found here. Of course you can register in full here.

Alright folks, last call. It is beer thirty. CFP closes today. Let's get those talks in:

Submit Talk to PgEast

Alright slackers, you know who you are. The constant presence at every conference. The speaker, that submits their talk at 11:59PM before the CFP closes, I am talking to YOU! In three days, the CFP for what is going to be the largest PostgreSQL Conference in the Western World to date (I say Western because JPUG kicks U.S. butt in attendance just at their user meetings alone), is going to …

I was surprised at first too but I have been talking to quite a few community members for MongoDB and due to the positive responses, PostgreSQL Conference East is going to be host to the excellent MongoDB community.
