The Open Source people have met again, like every year, in Brussels for the biggest open source event in europe - FOSDEM. The European PostgreSQL User Group was present with a booth and a devroom, plus a lot of “community”.

The German PostgreSQL User Group will have a stand at Chemnitz Linux Days 2010.

The German PostgreSQL User Group has applied for a stand at Cebit 2010. Now we got the confirmation that PostgreSQL will have a stand in hall 2 in the “Project Lounge”.

PGDay.EU 2009 in Paris is over. It was a very thrilling conference with many good impressions and interesting talks. But let’s stay in order.

I released version 3.0 of the pwn-translation script. Although the version number is already 3.0, this is the first public available version.

Up to PostgreSQL 8.3 it was only possible to grant (and revoke) permissions on the entire table. If column level permissions were needed, a workaround like a view solved (more or less) the problem: create the view with the required (allowed) columns, revoke all permissions from the underlaying table, grant permissions to the view.

The PostgreSQL Project will have a dev-room at FrOSCon on Sunday, August 23, 2009. Talks wanted!

FOSDEM 2009 is over and it was a great success!

PostgreSQL shared a developer room together with the *BSD groups and we also had a booth where many visitors passed by and stopped for asking questions or buing some of our merchandising stuff.

FOSDEM 2009 takes place in Brussels, Belgium next weekend. I hope everyone prepared his talk and booked tickets for the plane ;-)

This post informs you about the schedule for our developer room, the location of the booth and the details about our own social event.

There will be a workshop “optimize PostgreSQL, combine Perl and PostgreSQL” at the Perl Workshop 2009 on February 25 in Frankfurt/Main in Germany.
