🎙️ TALK: Partitioning very large tables with Django and PostgreSQL by @timb07
Database tables in PostgreSQL cause increasing performance and maintenance issues as they grow larger. In this talk, we'll look at ways of managing those problems with partitioning, the choices available, and how to partition existing tables at Kraken scale with Django.
👀 I'm not sure when Vivaldi added this split-pane tiling window feature, but I love the hell out of it. There are a ton of options, but I have been blissfully using it for the last 3 to 4 weeks, and it's wonderful.

🎙️ TALK: AI-Assisted Contributions and Maintainer Load by @paulox
AI-assisted contributions are changing how open source work happens. This talk looks at real maintainer experiences from projects like Django, Python, GNOME, and OCaml, focusing on review load, responsibility, and the governance questions that appear when AI replaces understanding instead of supporting it.
