In one week from now, I will be visiting the pgday.ru event in St Petersburg.
A big Thanks (Спасибо) goes to Timur Akhmadeev for bringing the event to my attention.
Curious as I am, I decided to try and send them some abstracts, and Low-and-Behold: I got selected to speak. Twice. Wow, Honored. My head was swelling with pride...
To some of my oracle Friends: I can recommend visiting non-Oracle events: You can stop bickering about the CBO or the opatch-inventory, and re-start living again. We can learn a lot, and we may even warn the PG community of some of our oracle-based mistakes.
It is Interesting and Fun just exploring the fellow-speakers and topics.
The PG community seems full of talent and experience. For example, they are also (re)discovering the benefits of "smart-DB" and "thick-DB" (link to "continuous delivery of stored-procedures").
So today I got my Passport back (visum approved), and I am all set to go. I really look forward to wandering around this event as a complete noob in a Foreign Environment.

Hello Piet!
Hope that Russia wasn't as far from the comfort zone as it seemed :) Was a great pleasure to meet you and hear your experience. Hope to see you again.
Cheers,
Alex
Hey Alex,

My first Russian visit went Fine.
The conference was Excellent and St Pb was great to see. I will try to go back for proper visit of the city later.
