Reflecting of the success of LAPUG's first Meeting at SCALE!
After successfully launching LAPUG during the Best of Friends (BOF) at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE), we are happy to announce the next LAPUG meeting.

Topics for discussion:
An official topic for discussion is still up open to anyone that would like offer a presentation on some aspect of PostgreSQL. However, in the time being, let's plan on meeting together for a group discussion on "How we are using PostgreSQL." As an alternative to this topic, feel free to discuss how you have made use of any other "flavors" of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) or even why you are interested in RDBMS.

Time:
March 28, 7:00 pm

Location:
The City of Garden Grove
Youth Cafe / IT Training Room (Look for the building labeled "Youth Cafe")
11277 Garden Grove Blvd
Garden Grove, CA 92840

Proposals for future meetings:
If anyone has ideas for a presentation, please email LAPUG mailing list for discussion.

Interest was also expressed to use LAPUG meetings for events other than PostgreSQL presentations. One thought was to offer simple training sessions on how to manage certain PostgreSQL related tasks that have challenged newer users of Postgres. It is expected that there will be greater effort required for this kind of preparation, but if sufficient interested is expressed and if facilities are made available we can certainly entertain ideas for these kinds of meetings.

We are looking for to meeting all that can attend.
