For those of you who were were unable to make it last night, I've posted the slides on the PostgreSQL rule system below. I’d like to give a big thanks to RiskMetrics for letting us use their conference room and sponsoring the pizza! In addition to discussing the rule system, we brainstormed possible topics for the next few meetings (recovery options, psql client tricks, writing stored procedures, and postgresql.conf explanations and tuning). Recovery options (especially WAL archiving) won out for October's presentation.

Our next meeting will be on Monday, October 20, at 7:00. I’m still looking into various venue options in Oklahoma City and will post possible locations when I’ve got a good list. Let me know if you have your heart set on somewhere. Right now, I'm trying to stick to no farther north than Downtown in order to keep it pretty central, but a great location could change my mind!

The next OKPUG meeting is on Monday, August 18, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at RiskMetrics (2600 John Saxon Blvd Norman, Suite 200, OK 73071 -- it's 3 miles east of the National Weather Center on Highway 9). I will give a presentation on uses of PostgreSQL rules, and then there will be time for general discussion, questions, etc. Pizza will be provided by RiskMetrics (thanks!). We'll need a headcount for the pizza, so please RSVP by emailing okpug-owner at postgresql dot org or posting here.

Hope to see you there!

Sorry it's taken me so long to post again! I got married in early July, and it was more distracting than I expected.

OKPUG's first meeting went very well. There were eight people, tasty food, and a good discussion of possible future topics. Our next meeting will be on August 18 at 7:00 pm in Norman at RiskMetrics. We'll choose October's location at this meeting. I'll post more details and directions in the coming days.

The Oklahoma PUG will hold it's first meeting on June 23 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Coach's in Norman, OK. Since I'm still trying to gauge local interests in Postgres, there will not be a scheduled presentation. Instead, we'll discuss suggestions for future topics, Postgres interests and experiences, and tangentially related miscellany.
