The 2nd talk of the day here at #FosdemPGDay in Brussels (a #Fosdem #Fosdem2023 fringe event) is Bruce Momjian giving a talk about “Securing #PostgreSQL From External Attack”

First topic is password snooping. And yes, Bruce is wearing his signature bow tie! And I love that Bruce gave a shout out to #CitusCon (CFP is still open until Sunday Feb 5 @ 11:59pm PST)

There are just a few days left to submit your talk proposals into the CFP for Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023!

The CFP will close on Sunday Feb 5th @ 11:59pm PST. Please boost to help spread the word.

Do y'all have any ideas on where—besides Mastodon, Twitter, LinkedIn, Planet Postgres, PostgreSQL.org, and blog posts—that I should be spreading the word about the open #CFP for Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023?

The #CitusCon CFP will close on Sunday Feb 5th @ 11:59pm PST.

It's a virtual dev event. The team is hoping for talk proposals about:
- #PostgreSQL #opensource
- Citus database extension
- Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL

Did some snowshoeing in the mountains this weekend (beautiful magical snow) & it was a good place to think about:

>> What talk proposal to submit into the CFP for Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023?

But I still haven't decided whether to submit an existing talk or a new talk.... maybe both?

Deadline: The CFP will close on Feb 5 2023 @ 11:59pm PST!

Hey all, the CFP is open for Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023.

What Postgres or Citus or PG extension story do you want to give?

Boosts are appreciated ❤️ esp. in this day & age where Twitter is no longer effective & I'm not yet connected to everyone here on Mastodon.

The event is free & virtual; it will happen in April. Because talks are recorded & published online, you'll have a bigger reach, too.
