In 2020 the Covid virus was responsible for the cancellation of a special meetup featuring Bruce Momjian, co-founder of PostgreSQL, longtime member of the PostgreSQL core team and VP of EnterpriseDB. Therefore we are extra happy to be able to invite you on April 11th 2023 to a meetup with Bruce!

Furthermore YOU have the opportunity to ask Bruce everything you always wanted to know about PostgreSQL during a 'fireside chat'. In this Q&A session Bruce will answer questions from the members of the Postgres Usergroup.

FOSDEM is a free event for software developers, DBAs and DevOps Engineers to meet, exchange ideas and collaborate.
Every year, thousands of open source software developers from around the world gather at the event in Brussels. FOSDEM 2023 will take place on Feb. 4 and 5.
The event location is ULB Solbosch Campus in Brussels, Belgium. There will also be a DevRoom of PostgreSQL Europe on Feb. 5 with a well-stocked track.

There are now 54 DevRooms assigned. Developer rooms are assigned to self-organized groups (around a theme or open source product) to collaborate on open source projects, discuss topics relevant to a broader subset of the community and technical tips and tricks. The organizers of the individual developer rooms will publish their calls for participation in the near future. Learn more at the FOSDEM 2023 site.
