Call for Papers, PostgreSQL and PostGIS, Session #8, April, 6th

Paris, January 20th 2016

After seven successful sessions dedicated to the new features of
PostgreSQL 9.0 (February 2011), to PostGIS (June 2011 & September
2014), to replication systems (February 2012), to migration from Oracle
to PostgreSQL (October 2012), to PostgreSQL performance (March 2013)
and to our 10th anniversary, in September 2015, we'd like to announce
that the 8th PostgreSQL Session will be held on April 6th, 2016, in
Lyon, France. 

This year, another place, but always the same format! Indeed, Dalibo
and Oslandia organize together one day of lectures dedicated to
PostgreSQL and PostGIS.

We're launching a call for papers for this event. You may now submit
your talks, in English or in French. Each talk should last 30 minutes
(questions included). We are interested in any talks on the following
subjects:

to propositions on any other migration related topics (monitoring,
hardware, replication, etc.) !

The submission deadline is February 29, 2016.
