What happens, if you ask the Chinese PostgreSQL community for a Meetup-like event, one or two speakers? You end up getting a full day conference ;-)
On September 12, Saturday, a full day PostgreSQL conference will take place at the Pivotal office in Beijing. If you want to attend, please sign up here.
PGConf.de 2015 is the sequel of the highly successful German-speaking PostgreSQL Conferences 2011 and 2013. Due to space limitations in the old location, we are moving to Hamburg. The conference takes place on Friday, November 27th. We also add a day with trainings on the 26th.
During Nordic PGDay 2015, I attended Heikki’s talk about “pg_rewind”. Someone in the audience asked, if it’s possible to roll a PostgreSQL database forward, ahead of the master. The answer was that currently it’s not possible, but there is no technical reason why this should not work.
So I decided to have a look. Turns out, it’s surprisingly easy to do.
As Josh Berkus blogged before, Pivotal is hosting the inaugural South Bay PostgreSQL Meetup in the Palo Alto office.
FOSDEM PGDay is a one day conference that will be held ahead of FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium, on Jan 30th, 2015. This will be a one-day focused PostgreSQL event, with a single track of talks. This conference day will be for-charge and cost 50€, and will be held at the Brussels Marriott Hotel. Registration is required to attend, the registration is open. Since we have a limited number of seats available for this event, we urge everybody to register as soon as possible once open.
Google Summer of Code 2014 is wrapped up: Maxence Ahlouche did an excellent job implementing one new algorithm for MADlib and refactored the code base for another one.
I posted a more detailled explanation in the Pivotal blog.
Happy to announce that Maxence Ahlouche has been accepted by both the PostgreSQL Project and by Google to implement clustering algorithms in MADlib during the Google Summer of Code 2014.
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).
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.
