Hacking Workshop for February 2026

For next month, I'm scheduling 2 or 3 discussions of Amit Langote's talk, Hacking Postgres Executor For Performance, given at PGConf India 2025. If you're interested in joining us, please sign up using this form and I will send you an invite to one of the sessions. Thanks to Amit for agreeing to attend the sessions.

For those who might need a reminder of how the hacking workshop works, this is simply an opportunity for anyone who is interested to have a conversation with a senior PostgreSQL hacker about a talk they gave, usually a talk on their area of specialty. Think of it as an extension of the Q&A period that would normally occur after a conference talk, except that there will only be 15-20 people on the call and we will have a full hour to talk things through with the talk author.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about PostgreSQL hacking and to interact with accomplished hackers. Questions about how the speaker chose the project or how they worked the patch through the community process are welcome, as well as questions about the technology itself. If interested, please join us.
