This is the best pic I have of the late Simon Riggs who passed away yesterday 26 Mar 2024. 💔 Simon's far-reaching influence in the Postgres world changed the course of so many lives. I took this photo when Simon was giving his Postgres keynote at #PGConfEU 2023 last December in Prague. RIP Simon, you will be missed by so many people, whose hearts are broken right now 💔
It’s happening. @pgconfeu & Athens, here I come! So looking forward to seeing #PostgreSQL friends, old and new! (And meet some of my #Microsoft teammates for the first time in person, woohoo.) #pgconfeu #postgres
I did it! Gave a talk today at @pgconfeu #PGConfEU & it was so fun to present this talk based on research I did w/Daniel Gustafsson of Microsoft, titled “What's in a #PostgreSQL major release? An analysis of contributions in the v17 timeframe”
I 🙏 to everyone who worked on PG17, so much valuable work in this release!

From my #pgconfeu selfies archive, this is me and fellow PGConfEU speaker Derk van Veen of Adyen

On stage now at @pgconfeu are @mulander & Nacho Alonso Portillo from #Microsoft giving a PostgreSQL talk titled “What does it take to onboard an extension?” #PGConfEU
So enjoying this talk (yes I’m biased) by Citus database engineer Naisila Puka here at @pgconfeu #PGConfEU titled “Supporting a New #PostgreSQL Version in Your Extension - A Citus Case Study” #OpenSource #Postgres #Microsoft
And now my much-admired teammate @AndresFreundTec from the #PostgreSQL team at Microsoft is on stage at @pgconfeu to talk about NUMA (non uniform memory access) vs. PostgreSQL.
Why? Because Moore’s law is dead and everyone is building chiplet architectures #PGConfEU #Postgres #databases
The @pgconfeu 2024 conference is beginning! Magnus Hagander is kicking off the conference on the big stage with a record 779 attendees who love #PostgreSQL — it’s happening in Athens & the room is buzzing with anticipation #pgconfeu
