CFP - PGDU 2019 Sydney, Australia

Dear Community,

The annual gathering of the PostgreSQL community in Down Under is just a couple of months away.

PostgreSQL Down Under (PGDU) is excited to bring to you the third edition of its annual conference, just days after the
much-anticipatedmajor release of PostgreSQL, version 12! 

It's our pleasure to invite you to speak at PGDU 2019 on the 15th November 2019 in Sydney, Australia

Whether you are a seasoned speaker or thinking of speaking for the first time, PGDU offers you the opportunity to
submita paper. 

In the past, we had talks covering:
    - Case studies (Tell us how you are making use of PostgreSQL somewhere)
    - Personal experiences (A day in the life of you and PostgreSQL)
    - Tools and utilities (Tabs or Spaces? Want to stir debate or demonstrate your love publicly?)
    - Migration stories (Maybe filed under Horror/Thriller, Comedy, Drama, or perhaps Action?)
    - New & existing features (I love PostgreSQL because…)
    - New feature development & vision (If only PostgreSQL would have … I will be ….)
    - Benchmarks (Hail ye quants…)
    - Performance & scaling (Put the pedal to the metal)
    - Enterprise readiness (Security, backup & recovery, audit, compliance, etc)
    - Lightning talks (tweets impersonated, 3-5 minutes)
    - Facilitate a forum (suggest a topic)

Got an idea that doesn’t fit above, we are all ears!

You can choose between a 45-minute slot (with Q&A included) or a 5-minute lightning talk.
