PostgreSQL Meetup- zoom version!

Dear Chicago PUG members,

This is a Zoom version of our November meetup.

Please note that we converted online meetups to webinar format to eliminate disruption to our live stream. That means that all attendees will be muted upon entrance, and Q&A will be enabled after the presentation. For a live event, please RSVP here.

Please RSVP to this event only if you are attending virtually.

Please note that the live stream will start at 6 PM, while the in-person event will start at 5-30.

Event Details:
Our speaker for this meetup is Devrim Gunduz, EDB.
He will present the talk "Extend your PostgreSQL: The world of PostgreSQL extensions."

Talk Abstract:
The extension concept is a big feature of PostgreSQL, and users can add interesting capabilities to their database instances using them.
In this talk, I will cover these topics:

• How it started: "Contrib"
• Introduction of extension concept
• Challenges around extensions: Distribution and packaging
• Developing an extension: Anything can happen?
• Maintenance of existing extensions
• Favorite extensions: Data from users

About the Speaker:
Devrim started using Linux in 1996, and PostgreSQL in 1998. He loves to travel, listen to music, and enjoy life with friends. Devrim joined the PostgreSQL community around 1999 and contributed to many PostgreSQL-related projects. He is currently maintaining the PostgreSQL official RPM repository at https://yum.postgresql.org and https://zypp.postgresql.org .
