Now that I’m working with pgEdge, they’re encouraging me to submit to every possible conference that will have me. So I have. In addition to that, there are a few company events which require travel, so I’m globe-trotting for those too. All in all, this is what my schedule looks like this year so far: Feb 3-7 - Spock developer symposium in Alexandria March 5-8 - Presenting What’s our Vector, Victor? https://bonesmoses.org/2024/building-blocks-and-stepping-stones/ Sun, 10 Nov 2024 17:41:56 -0600 https://bonesmoses.org/2024/building-blocks-and-stepping-stones/ Last week I attended Postgres Conference Seattle 2024 as a speaker for two sessions. The first, titled “What’s our Vector, Victor?” discussed the merits of the pg_vectorize extension for Postgres. The second, titled “Kubernetes Killed the High Availability Star” served an advocacy piece for the ultimate deprecation of Postgres High Availability tooling in general. On day two of the event, I ended up having a long conversation about system architecture with Harry Pierson from DBOS. https://bonesmoses.org/2016/pg-phriday-working-together/ Fri, 16 Sep 2016 16:00:49 +0000 https://bonesmoses.org/2016/pg-phriday-working-together/ There seem to be quite a few popular Postgres conferences peppering the globe these days. This year, Simon Riggs of 2ndQuadrant gave the sponsored keynote at Postgres Open. I’m not entirely sure it was intentional since it wasn’t the title of his presentation, but he uttered the words “working together to make Postgres better for everyone” at one point. The phrase “Working Together” really stood out, because that’s a significant part of what makes Postgres so great. https://bonesmoses.org/2014/pgcon-2014-unconference-a-community/ Tue, 27 May 2014 09:02:42 +0000 https://bonesmoses.org/2014/pgcon-2014-unconference-a-community/ This May, I attended my first international conference: PGCon 2014. Though the schedule spanned from May 20th to May 23rd, I came primarily for the talks. Then there was the Unconference on the 24th. I’d never heard of such a thing, but it was billed as a good way to network and find out what community members want from PostgreSQL. After attending the Unconference, I must admit I’m exceptionally glad it exists; it’s something I believe every strong Open Source project needs.
