Thanks for the details. :) I think this is a great idea, and I'm
excited that PgUS is offering these options to PUGs.

Here's what I'm wondering - we just had one of these in July, the day
before OSCON. We'll likely/hopefully be having one again in 2011, the
day before OSCON. I'm feeling like having a PgDay in winter might be
crowding the events calendar; plus I suspect it is easier to get
people to travel to a one-day event like this when it's held in
conjunction with another conference.

Maybe it would be better to hold this in a different city? (Like,
somewhere with some sun. :koffkoff: ) Or could you adjust your
expectations for the scheduling, and we could set something up prior
to OSCON? I would love to work with PgUS for this, I'm just not sure
that Portland is the ideal place given the suggested timeframe.
