Ten years ago, on July 8th, 1996, the PostgreSQL project went on the Internet 
via a small web server in Toronto.   To commemorate that event -- as well as 
offer a chance for many members of our community to meet for the first time, 
in person -- we will be having a small conference from July 8 to 9 in 
Toronto, Canada (http://conference.postgresql.org).

This 2-day event will feature numerous presentations and community sessions to 
let community members share their knowledge.   Many major contributors to 
PostgreSQL will be there, and most of them will be speaking or leading coding 
sessions:  Tom Lane, Bruce Momjian, Tatsuo Ishii, Gavin Sherry, Neil Conway 
and more.  At the event we will also discuss and coordinate community 
advocacy and fundraising efforts.

If you are an active member of the PostgreSQL community ... invidividual or 
corporate ... you should register now: 
http://conference.postgresql.org/Registration

The PostgreSQL Anniversary Summit is sponsored by Afilias, EnterpriseDB, 
GreenPlum, Pervasive, Sun Microsystems and others 
(http://conference.postgresql.org/Sponsors)

I think we ought to replace the 8.1 released announcement on the main page 
with a call for anniversary registration. Thoughts?

...but, the "PostgreSQL 8.1 released" banner could/should stand now in
the following png:

http://www.postgresql.org/layout/images/hdr_right.png

Or something like: "Current version: 8.1.3".

Just a big reference to the current version, in the visitor's face.
Otherwise, the homepage
would be empty of 8.1 mentions, but the shortcut to downloads.

A shortcut to the registration form would be a good idea, tho.

Robert,

Only if you can make it clear that the Anniversary is a "hacker's 
Summit" and not a general-purpose conference.  Out upper limit for 
registration is 100 people.

I didn't realize that we had such a small limit... in that case I suppose we 
could hold off for a bit and see how things go?  Hmm... maybe I better go 
register.
