Pat Wright is running this month’s #PGSQLPhriday, and the topic is “What is the PostgreSQL Community to you?”
The answer for me is very versatile, and covers quite a lot. Took me a moment to gather the facets, and likely I’m still missing some parts.

Together with Lætitia Avrot and Nikolay Samokhvalov I was invited to participate in a Community Panel (YouTube video) about PostgreSQL Upgradability at Postgres Vision 2022. The panel was moderated by Bruce Momjian and initiated and organized by Jimmy Angelakos. Bruce did talk with each of us before, which helped a lot to guide the discussion in the right direction. The recording of the panel discussion is available on the Postgres Vision website.
During this panel each of us provided examples for how easy or complicated PostgreSQL upgrades still are.

FOSDEM PGDay is a one day conference that will be held ahead of FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium, on Jan 29th, 2016. This will be a one-day focused PostgreSQL event, with a single track of talks. Registration is required to attend, the registration will open soon. Since we have a limited number of seats available for this event, we urge everybody to register as soon as possible once open.
PostgreSQL Europe will also have our regular devroom at FOSDEM on Sunday the 31st, which will be held at the main FOSDEM venue at ULB. This day will, of course, continue to be free of charge and open to all FOSDEM entrants. No registration is required to attend this day.

The call for papers is now open for both these events. We are looking for talks to fill both these days with content for both insiders and new users. Please see http://fosdem2016.pgconf.eu/callforpapers/ for details and submission information.
The deadline for submissions is December 7th, 2015, but we may as usual pre-approve some talks, so get your submissions in soon!

You might have guessed it, yesterday's announcement about the PGDay Caribbean 2014 was an April joke.
I've got this idea back at FOSDEM 2014 when we discussed possible options for our European PostgreSQL conference this year (and no, this conference will certainly not take place in the Caribbean).
There's another first: on the first day after the Call for Papers we already got two talk submissions ;-) I'm not sure, but I think this never happened before.
I would like to thank Magnus Hagander for his help with the DNS setup, cross-checking the website content, correcting my mistakes and everything, without him this would not have been possible.
Will leave the conference website online for a few more days, enjoy it!
PGDay Caribbean 2014 is a one day PostgreSQL conference which takes place on August 1st, in the beautiful city of St. Martin in the Caribbean. The event follows a well known pattern from other PGDay events: great talks, good community, drinks - and we add summer and sunshine on top.
The Call for Papers will be opened tomorrow, but we have a limited number of seats, so head over to the conference website and make your reservation today!
See you in the Caribbean!
