Next month, I'l be hosting 2 or 3 discussions of Andres Freund's talk, NUMA vs PostgreSQL, given at PGConf.EU 2024. You can sign up using this form. I anticipate that both Andres and I will be present for the discussions, and I'd like to thank Andres and all of the other presenters who have made time to join the discussions and answer questions for their time (so far: Melanie Plageman, Thomas Munro, Andrey Borodin). It has been absolutely great having them join the workshops.
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what works best in terms of scheduling. Although I am trying to cater to all time zones, I've discovered that the US/Eastern evening time slots are not popular, partly because they are miserable for Europeans, who form a large portion of the attendees (not to mention speakers). So, I've scheduled the January sessions for 1400 and 2000 UTC. If there's sufficient demand, we'll add a third session at 1700 UTC. See the signup form for the dates.
We've also chosen our talks for February and March. I don't know which talk will be covered in which month yet, or what the dates or times will be. However, one of the two months will cover Louise Grandjonc's talk A Deep Dive into Postgres Statistics, and the other will cover Heikki Linnakangas's talk The Wire Protocol. Both Louise and Heikki have indicated that they're interested in joining the respective discussions, so stay tuned for signups after the turn of the year.
As usual, we've picked the talks to cover via a vote in the PostgreSQL Hacker Mentoring Discord server that I started, where you can also ask your hacking questions about PostgreSQL itself, or about hacking on extensions and drivers, for which we have dedicated channels. It would be great if a few more people would join the Discord server and ask questions there, because the server does not yet meet Discord's requirements for server discovery. We need 1000 members and 20 people talking each week; we're currently at 751 members and 14 people talking each week. If we could increase that to meet Discord's requirements, then we basically get listed in Discord's directory listing, and it becomes much easier for people who are looking for PostgreSQL-related servers to find the server and join it.
