This week on Tue/Wed/Thu Jun 10-12 is @posetteconf, a free & virtual developer conference with 4 livestreams, 42 talks about Postgres, & a live hallway track on Discord 📺
If you use #PostgreSQL 🐘 there's probably something here for you: https://posetteconf.com/2025/schedule/
🧵(1) A quick story on why #PosetteConf matters (and why virtual conferences matter) 👇
When I was an engineer in the developer tools group at Sun, our team was co-located. We coded together, ate lunch together, played volleyball together—& sometimes even juggled in the halls, waiting for servers to reboot (crazy that I still remember the server's names: skippy, jif, and peterpan)
Today, the #PostgreSQL community I work with is spread across time zones, countries, & companies 🌎🌍🌏

Now everything is distributed. Including how we connect with each other: email, discord, telegram, slack, teams, linkedin, mastodon, youtube, reddit...
Another way? Traveling by planes ✈️ , trains 🚊, or automobiles 🚗 to in-person #PostgreSQL conferences. I've never been to a bad Postgres conference, they've all been pretty magical.
But not everyone can travel: kids, budgets, caregiving, life
That's one of the reasons my team at Microsoft created #PosetteConf. To make great #PostgreSQL content accessible to anyone w/ laptop 💻 + internet 🛜
