Yeah, unfortunately it seems all PostgreSQL conferences decided to move to
March this year. Other than pgconf.us (used to be April, but before that
March) and SCALE (used to be January, but I think they used to be March
before that),  we also have the Moscow conference (used to be February),
and Nordic, and Paris. Basically all the ones who move back and forth a
month ended up going to the same one in the middle this year.

I realize FOSSASIA can't really look at our pg events to schedule, but we
really did a bad job of spreading out our own events this year.

I've also got multiple non-postgres-dedicated events that ended up in March
as well this year, making it even harder. So no, unfortunately I won't make
it this time around - most likely I won't even make it to the new jersey
conference. But I'll definitely keep an eye out for next year :)
