OK, so the keynote "Postgres 19 Hackers Panel: What’s In, What’s Out, & What’s Next" that Heikki Linnakangas, Thomas Munro, Melanie Plageman and I presented at POSETTE: An Event for Postgres has now been published on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw4WKeoxKq4

I think it turned out quite okay.

There's still some conference talks to go! Have a look at https://posetteconf.com/2026/schedule/

The #Postgres open source project is 30 this year. To mark the occasion, we're preparing a slideshow with photos from the past and present of the project - events, funny and interesting photos. We plan to present it at pgconfd.dev in Vancouver (~1 month from now), and then also publish it on the web.

If you have taken such photos, or if you know where we could find them, we'd like to know! Feel free to ping me here, shoot me an e-mail, or something.

'Separate your identity from your projects. Find people who see you when you're not shipping. Get a doctor who understands that "I've been incredibly productive lately" is sometimes a symptom, not a success story. Build a life that doesn't depend on the community's approval to feel real.'

I am very glad to hear that Kenneth is doing better now, and have so much respect for his decision to write this post. In the end, people are always more important than code - always.

PGConf.dev is where Postgres hackers and ecosystem builders come to share real work and build together.

CFP closes Jan 16.
