Hey, y'all; let's hit the ATLPUG IRC channel at 7:30 this (Tuesday, 8 April) evening to brainstorm about topics of interest to ATLPUG. Hope to see y'all there! :)

Last Tuesday, March 18th, ATLPUG had its first successful meeting. Over half a dozen people, with PostgreSQL experience varying between interested newcomers and years of PostgreSQL experience, users with terabyte PostgreSQL installs and others checking out various PostgreSQL LiveCDs (Ubuntu | Fedora), and programmers in many languages, including Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and one brave COBOL programmer. ;) We discussed each other's projects, exchanged some tips, waxed rhapsodic about the performance improvements in 8.3, talked about some of the upcoming conferences (including PostgreSQL Conference EAST, PGCon, and OSCON PostgreSQL Day [as well as OSCON itself]) as well as the new United States PostgreSQL Association. I look forward to seeing y'all again next month!

If you're interested in joining ATLPUG, please sign up for the mailing list. Thanks again, everyone! :)

Hey, y'all; due to a pair of funerals I've attended these past few days, I'm behind on meeting planning. Let's have the first meeting next Tuesday, March 18th, at 6:30 PM in the Buckhead Borders (in the upstairs coffee lounge). At the meeting, we'll look at a pair of PostgreSQL LiveCDs, discuss organization of the Atlanta-Area PostgreSQL User Group, talk about upcoming conferences (PostgreSQL Conference EAST and PGCon 2008), and generally geek out over the world's most advanced open source DB. ;)

Leave a comment or drop an email to atlpug@postgresql.org if you're planning on attending; I look forward to seeing all of y'all next week! :)

Hello, everyone! We're starting an Atlanta-area PostgreSQL User Group; the first meeting will be on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 at 6:30 PM (at a place TBD), where we'll organize more formally (elect officers, etc.) and discuss the great new features of 8.3.

Look forward to seeing you there!
