One full week has passed since the end of PG Day Europe 2009 and yet it's still hard to describe the intensity of these 2 days of meeting. Everything went so fast ! Here's some figures to : 25 talks, 32 speakers, 200 PostgreSQL fanboys and fangirls...

I had the chance to be part of the organization, so here's a bunch of lessons learned during this fantastic experience :

  • Against all odds, the French visitors were likely to attend English lectures. About 80% of the audience consisted of French and despite my fears, language was not a barrier.
  • Participate in organizing such an event is a simple and easy way to contribute to the PostgreSQL project. There's nothing better to understand and help this community.
  • We still have a long way to go to achieve what the JPUG is doing

Of course, I take this opportunity to thank all the people that made this adventure possible: the staff, sponsors, speakers, ... The list is too long.

I do not know if I can participate in the organization PGDay Europe 2010 but I already cannot wait to be there !
