I apologize. This year, we are in MRT (Morisset). MRT is right across from Residence. We are on the second floor. It is easiest to go around to the other side of the building (from Residence), and go in on the 1st floor, and up the stairs to the second floor. http://g.co/maps/wdb2w -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org Our sponsors VMWare - http://www.vmware.com/ EnterpriseDB - http://www.enterprisedb.com/ 2ndQuadrant - http://www.2ndquadrant.com/ Heroku - http://www.heroku.com/ EMC - http://www.emc.com/ SRAOSS, Inc - http://www.sraoss.com/ PGExperts - http://www.pgexperts.com/ Citus Data - http://www.citusdata.com/ Afilias - http://www.afilias.info/ Google - http://code.google.com/opensource/ Redpill Linpro - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ Dalibo - http://www.dalibo.com/ credativ - http://www.credativ.us/ OmntiTI - http://omniti.com/ NTT - https://www.oss.ecl.ntt.co.jp/ossc Lauren Innovations - http://laureninnovations.com/ Follow us: Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/109158564828766727391/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=267114355903&ref=ts Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/pgcon
