Of course, proposals for talks on other PostgreSQL related topics will also be gladly accepted.A limited number of longer, 60-minute, slots will be available, especially aimed at practical tutorials. Please indicate clearly in your submission if you wish to make a 60-minute talk.
It is also possible for you to give a tutorial on advanced use, administration or development of a PostgreSQL cluster. Every tutorial must have a live demo, didactic material for attendees and have to be no more long than 60 minutes. All the material required for the tutorial itself (e.g., slides, code snippets, howtos, etc.) are on the lecturer(s).
Finally, there will be a session of five minute lightning talks. A separate call for proposals will be made for these further on.
The submission deadline is October 24th, 2010. Selected speakers will be notified on October 27th, 2010. Please email your proposals to pgday2010@itpug.org, and include the following information:

The proposals will be considered by a committee that will finalise the schedule to be published nearer the conference date. If your proposal has been accepted, you will be informed by email.
We look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you in Rome in December!
