Looking for Sponsors

The final contract

The final version of our sponsorship contract is here!

For an invoice, ask Jean-Paul Argudo, as he's the PostgreSQL Europe treasurer. When Jean-Paul is not available, Guillaume Lelarge will be the backup. He knows how to make an invoice in the PostgreSQL Europe format.
