Speaker Bureau
From PostgreSQL wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchIn order to help with the challenge of finding speakers for meetups please add your name to this page if you are willing to speak at a meetup. At a minimum add your name, topic(s) and timezone. Feel free to add anything else you feel is relevant.
Please use the IANA database name for your time zone. Please use a comma-space list of languages that you can deliver talks in comfortably. The space after the comma is important for help in searching for a language code.
For user group organizers who'd like to contact a speaker, please email the PgUS User Group Committee (ugcomm at PostgreSQL dot us), and we'll forward the request to the speaker.
