Hi, all! It's a great pleasure to say that "Introducing Npgsql" will be presented at PGCON2008 by me, Josh Cooley and Hiroshi Saito! To me is a great pleasure to be able to meet such great guys! It will be very nice to meet Dave Page too! He helped me very much since beginning of the project. Also, I will have the opportunity to meet other great people from Postgresql community! I'm very excited! I already have my passport and now I'm waiting to get my visa to enter in Canada! This is my first international trip and I think I'm starting very well! I hope to be able to attend international open source meetings more often. This is my first time in Canada and I'm planning to stay from May 12 through May 30. If you have any tips about accommodation, places to eat, sleep and go in Canada (day and night :) ), please, let me know! Thanks everybody and thanks God for this opportunity. See you in Canada at PGCON2008!!
