I’ve been busy recently and I failed to update on the last meetup news.
I apologise for that.
We had a very interesting meetup in January.
Alexey Bashtanov explained how the grouping works in postgres and how to improve or even re implement in C the grouping functions.
On the meetup page there are the pictures from the meeting.
The presentation’s recording is available thereand the slides are free to download on slideshare there.
I’ll be at the University of Ferrara Saturday 9th of January for a PostgreSQL afternoon.
This is the confirmed schedule.

15:40 - Michele Finelli: The PostgreSQL’s transactional system

This second meetup went very well. The audience was interested and we had fun time thanks to the beer and pizzas offered alongside with the venue by our sponsor brandwatch.
Here a couple of pictures from the meetup.
The recording worked much better than the previous time, here’s the presentation’s video. We’ll meet again shortly for a nice beer. Next technical talk will be probably in January.
Three days to go for the next Brighton PostgreSQL meetup.
I’ll run a live hangout of the talk.
You can join the event there.
