This is the best pic I have of the late Simon Riggs who passed away yesterday 26 Mar 2024. 💔 Simon's far-reaching influence in the Postgres world changed the course of so many lives. I took this photo when Simon was giving his Postgres keynote at #PGConfEU 2023 last December in Prague. RIP Simon, you will be missed by so many people, whose hearts are broken right now 💔

Hey #pgconfeu people, all 87 slides are now online for my #PostgreSQL talk at PGConf EU, a Beginner's Guide to Partitioning vs. Sharding in Postgres

🙌 +1 to the organizers, volunteers, & talk selection team for making PGConf EU happen. It was a magical week. And #Prague was the perfect location for it this year. https://speakerdeck.com/clairegiordano/beginners-guide-to-partitioning-vs-sharding-in-postgres-claire-giordano-pgconf-eu-2023

"Trying to be Barbie in Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House" at #pgconfeu last week was, without doubt, the scariest (but also the most worthwhile and the most fun) talk I've ever given. I was very glad to have the wonderful @l_avrot by my side!

I've published the transcript and a link to the slides here: https://karenjex.blogspot.com/2023/12/trying-to-be-barbie-in-kens-mojo-dojo.html and we'll share the video as soon as it's available.
Thank you @tomasv for the photos!

Right now @l_avrot & @karenhjex are on stage at #pgconfeu demonstrating creativity on steroids (!!!!) to shine a light on the challenges women face navigating a male-dominated tech world, including in Postgres… The talk is “Trying to be Barbie in Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House” & I applaud Lætitia’s & Karen’s courage in giving this talk #Barbie #PostgreSQL #database #diversity #womenintech

People are standing in the back & sitting on the floor to see the wonderful Tomas Vondra #PostgreSQL talk at #pgconfeu about “Postgres vs. Linux filesystems” and not only is Tomas expert in his field and a good speaker, he is also an organizer of this event!
