Greetings! It's time to organize the PostgreSQL Developer Unconference! We are excited to say that we have over 100 individuals registered for this event! This is a 1.5 day event, starting the afternoon of Tuesday 16 June, 2015 and ending the evening of Wednesday 17 June, 2015. Breaks will be included as needed for coffee, tea, food, socializing, and sleep.
We are doing things a bit differently this year (and a bit different from the "traditional" Unconference-style), please see the wiki: Wiki ==== https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgCon_2015_Developer_Unconference The main change from "traditional" Unconference-style is that we're attempting to do a bit of loose organization prior to the start of the Unconference, using the wiki. If successful, we will be able to reclaim the hour or so of time which is usually reserved for topic discussion and use it for sessions instead. Further, we hope to be able to optimize the schedule for the speakers and attendees, avoid double booking individuals, etc. For this, we *need* everyone's help and cooperation to update the wiki to add topics and note which topics they are interested in. There is no doubt that this is an experiment and will be a challenge, but the more information we have the more likely we will be successful. Please note that the topics for this Unconference are to be related to PostgreSQL development. The agenda will be driven using the wiki based on the relative interest of the topics listed, in concert with attempts to optimize the schedule for the attendees. Please direct any questions or comments to Stephen Frost ([email protected]) or Dave Page ([email protected]). A great example of a topic which would be appropriate for the Unconference is a discussion of the MultiXAct issues, with the various individuals involved in its design and ongoing improvements as required attendees. Other topic examples could be UPSERT, Grouping Sets, RLS, or other 9.5 features and how they changed backend components or the on-disk format. Discussion of post-9.5 work is certainly encourgaed also and we have good examples already listed in the form of Table partitioning and Vertical Scalability. Perhaps another topic would be join push-down with postgres_fdw. Meetings ======== Each meeting at the Unconference is intended to last ~1 hour. We would like to capture the attendees (or at least, the individuals primairly involved in the discussion who are happy to be listed) of each meeting along with notes from the meeting, so those who were unable to attend can review them. As such, if you're comfortable doing so, please volunteer to gather that information and post it to the wiki page. Attendees ========= All members of the PostgreSQL Community who are attending PGCon are welcome to attend the Developer Unconference. Note, however, that this is a technical Unconference and talks are expected to be technical in nature and related to PostgreSQL development. The Unconference is not intended to cover User-oriented talks or tutorials. If you have any questions about if a particular topic is appropriate, please contact Stephen Frost ([email protected]) or Dave Page ([email protected]). Thanks! Stephen
