The sea elephants

Friday 14th August we kicked off the Brighton PostgreSQL  Meetup.
We had a nice evening with cool people all togheter discussing about PostgreSQL and how we can run effectively the meetup.

We decided to have a regular monthly meetup hosted around Brighton, possibly, by companies or any suitable venue.

The next meetup will be the 25th of September and this time there will be some PostgreSQL talks. The general interest favours the standby servers and the streaming replication. Another topic could be the query planning and execution.
I can cover both of the topics. We just need to decide how many talks will be in one hour session.

After the meetup we’ll head to the nearest pub for a nice beer.

I can only say a big thank you, to all the meetup members.

That’s all for now.  

Meet Marvin

There is just one day left and we'll start the Brighton PostgreSQL Meetup. I invested some resources in this project like and I truly believe it can be a success.
I still can't believe that in just one month 25 people already have shown  the interest on being part of the Brighton PostgreSQL Group. And today another nice suprise. I received the new shiny mascot for our group.

He's Marvin, the sea elephant. The author if this fantastic drawing is Elena, an incredibly talentuous artist from Italy. 

I've also opened a twitter account for our social media presence.

So we are ready to start. I'm very excited and I'll write a detailed report of our first meetup in few days.
