Re: Postgres and PostGIS training

It would be good to have a PG session.

Catalyst would be happy to host this event. Our office is 89 York St in
the city. We are just in the process of an office move so would be best
in a few weeks.

Happy to do a talk as well if required.
- We did an Oracle -> Postgres migration project for Moodle for a
Queensland university last year which was an interesting case study.

Any interest?
