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 💔
–Mom, can we have G**gle Maps?
–We have G**gle Maps at home
I'll be speaking shortly at @pgconfeu in Athens about using the awesome free resources of #PostGIS and #OpenStreetMap to add #GIS capabilities to #PostgreSQL.

I get to wear lots of different hats at PGConf.EU next week. One of my favourites is, of course, the one that lets me talk to people about databases for a solid 45 minutes 😂. I can't wait to see you all there! #PostgreSQL #PGConfEU #Kubernetes

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!

It was my honour to be invited to speak at the #PostgreSQL #Extension Ecosystem Summit colocated with @pgconfeu 2024 Athens. Many thanks to @floord and @theory for the organisation and to the sponsors for their support. I shared backstory, details and insights about the extension I maintain, pg_statviz (https://github.com/vyruss/pg_statviz) The current effort to revitalise and strengthen extension building for #Postgres is hugely important
