Обсуждение: PostgreSQL Travel offer for current GSOC students
Students, As we do every year, if you are a GSOC student this year, the PostgreSQL community will pay for you to attend one PostgreSQL community conference in 2013-2014. This includes airfare, local transportation, visa fees and conference fees up to $1800USD maximum. We would prefer that you attend a conference which is either near you, or shared with your mentor. Upcoming PostgreSQL conferences include: Postgres Open - September 16, Chicago, USA pgConf.EU - November 1, Dublin, Ireland PGDay.IT (Italian only) - October 25th, Prato, Italy FOSDEM PostgreSQL Room: February, Brussels, Belgium pgCon - May, Ottawa, Canada CHAR(14)/UK PGDAY - June, Oxford, UK There will also likely be a pgDay in China, a pgDay Germany, and a JPUG conference in Japan in 2014, but these are not scheduled yet. Once you've selected the conference you wish to go to, please contact me to discuss compensation details. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

PGConf.DE has most definitely been announced and scheduled, a long time ago. November 8 in Oberhausen, Germany. But I don't believe CHAR(14)/UKPGDAY has actually been announced, so that's not certain to happen. Also, how do you actually specify those dates? Postgres Open is Sep 16-18, so there you used the first day. PGConf.EU is Oct 29-Nov 1, so there you used the last day. I'd advice anybody considering it to carefully look at the website for the actual conference, and not go by the list above ;) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Right - and it's unlikely to be in Oxford, and quite likely to be in July like previous events. -- Dave Page PostgreSQL Core Team http://www.postgresql.org/
