[Board] Fw: PostgreSQL Day 2007: Prato, Tuscany, Italy

[Jo Walsh]

dear all, especially Markus, here's the Postgres/Postgis invitation i
received, which i don't think i am the right person to do, and which
strk can't make; they are interested in an OSGeo/PostGIS-based apps
talk, and it would be great to send some reps from the Italian
chapter if they are not already in this loop.

Subject: PostgreSQL Day 2007: Prato, Tuscany, Italy

Dear Jo,

  my name is Gabriele Bartolini and I am one of the organisers of the
first Italian PostgreSQL Day, which will be held in Prato, Tuscany,
Italy on Saturday, July 7 2007.

  The main objectives of the PostgreSQL day are:

1) to promote the usage of PostgreSQL and its related projects
2) to create and consolidate a network of Italian and European users of
PostgreSQL

  We are very honoured that Josh Berkus and David Fetter (who gave me
your contact and who is receiving this email as well) have accepted our
invitation and will be part of the event. Our intention is to organise a
full day conference made up of parallel:

1) talks for advanced and experts users (new solutions for professionals)
2) talks for PostgreSQL's promotion and presentation of use-cases (real
projects based on PostgreSQL)
3) workshops for beginners on how to use PostgreSQL for work,
educational purposes, hobby, etc.

  Last but not least, we would like to organise it in a very friendly
and relaxing atmosphere (luckily, Tuscany makes this much easier). The
conference is officially organised by the Prato Linux User Group (PLUG)
a no-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of free software.

  Having said this, I would like to invite you to attend the Italian PG 
Day 2007 and possibly present a talk/paper on PostGIS/OSGeo.

  Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Gabriele
