Come celebrate the first every MPUG with PGDay 2013!

Well I asked the question a few months back and I've attempted to scrape
something together here with much help and prodding from the Josh and
Gabriele from the advocacy group... the big announcement is..

The big blue elephant is making its way to Melbourne (Down Under) for
the first time!

We're very fortunate to have Gabriele Bartolini and Josh Berkus from the
international PostgreSQL community make their way to Melbourne to share
their unique perspectives and experiences with us on the this amazing
open source database.

Come join other PostgreSQL enthusiasts at the first ever Australian
PGDay as a kick off to the commencement of the Melbourne PostgreSQL
Users Group. This is the first event of its kind in Australia and we're
hoping Melbournians, and users Australia-wide, attend the event to help
us grow and become a vibrant community in the coming years.

The 2013 Australia PGDay will take place on the 4th of February and will
be held at the Experian Hitwise office near St. Kilda. The office is
located at Level 6/580 St. Kilda Road, Melbourne - directly opposite
Wesley College. You can find the full address together with Google Maps
and tram directions on the Meetup group site (see below).

Access to the event is free however we require registration as we only
have 60 spots for the day. Tea, coffee and lunch will be provided and
we'll be heading over to the Belgian Beer Cafe afterwards.

The event will be an all day affair (starting 10am and finishing at
4:30pm) and will be broken up into two parts to cater to different
audiences. The morning session will serve as an introduction to
PostgreSQL, detail the features found in the latest version (9.2) and
discuss the merits of the project. The afternoon session will be focused
on existing users (or keen new users :) and be a look into back-up and
recovery, replication and other in-depth topics.

The schedule for the day is still in draft. More information about PGDay
AU will be provided on the 2013.pgday.org.au and meetup.com/melpug
websites, the postgresql.org website and on the official twitter
account. Stay tuned and subscribe to the feeds!

Save the date and... see you in Melbourne!
