On Friday, 6 September 2019, an exciting event will take place: PgDay Austria, a mini-conference all about the popular relational open-source database PostgreSQL.

This is particularly interesting because it is precisely this database that is used for the central storage of the primary OpenStreetMap database.

Papers can still be submitted at https://pgday.at/programm/ until 01/04/2019. The conference is organised by the PostgreSQL consulting company CyberTec (www.cybertec-postgresql.com).
