This was my first time attending PGConf.India. Something I wanted to do for quite a while, heard good things about the conference. but never had a chance before. The conference is well attended, and very vibrant. Good presentations, a lot of questions about *WarehousePG* (the talk I gave) and about *PostgreSQL* in general.

In my Daily Notes in ObsidianMD I want to add entries on certain weekdays. However this added empty lines in-between. Figuring out what is going on in the Template takes some time and effort.

On July 16th, 2024, we had the PostgreSQL July Meetup in Berlin. Adjust hosted and Neon sponsored the Meetup in their Berlin Headquarter at Prenzlauer Berg, near the TV Tower.

The International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP) invited to an interesting online event: Artificial Intelligence in Planning. Urban planning is not an area with which I have many points of interaction. However AI plays a major role in my field of expertise. Therefore I joined the event to find out how other fields are studying and applying artificial intelligence to their work.

Ever since its inception, PGCon took place in Ottawa, on the U of O Campus campus. I attended this conference before. Now the new PGConf.dev conference is moved to the other side of the country, and hosted on the Simon Fraser University campus in Vancouver.

Pavlo Golub is hosting this month's PGSQL Phriday. The topic is 'PostgreSQL Events'.

The topic for this month's PGSQL Phriday blogging challenge is: pg_stat_statement. And Michael Christofides gave me a perfect opener in his invitation. For anyone who doesn't know, I'm running a weekly interview series with people from the PostgreSQL community. It's called 'PostgreSQL Person of the Week'.

With people moving away from Twitter, mostly to Mastodon, discovering the new accounts became a problem. For people in the PostgreSQL community I created a website which lists different social media accounts.

Henrietta Dombrovskaya asks about Software Development and PostgreSQL. That's a very broad topic. Not being a big developer for myself, and only occasionally submitting patches here and there, I nevertheless have a vast amount of data available on the topic: the 'PostgreSQL Person of the Week' interviews! There are a few questions in the interviews which relate to this topic.

Pat Wright is running this month’s #PGSQLPhriday, and the topic is 'What is the PostgreSQL Community to you?'
