The Future of the PostgreSQL Hacking Workshop

The PostgreSQL Hacking Workshop will be taking a well-earned Christmas break in December of 2025. The future of the workshop is a little bit unclear, because I'm continuing to have a bit of trouble finding enough good talks online to justify doing one per month: the best source of talks for the event is pgconf.dev, but not all of those talks are about hacking on PostgreSQL, and not all of those that are about hacking are equally interesting to potential attendees. Also, we've already eaten through much of the backlog of older hacking-related talks that are posted online. Many conferences have few hacking-related talks, or just don't post any videos (which are expensive and time-consuming to produce).
