A new meetup has been scheduled in San Francisco. Denis Lussier will be visiting, and will present about Foreign Data Wrappers on November 5th. This meetup is sponsored by Rackspace.

This will be followed two weeks later by pgConf Silicon Valley, for which registration is still open. Register now!

Immediately following pgConfSV, on Nov. 19, two speakers are staying over to present in Palo Alto, at the offices of analytics software vendor Tableau. Their staff will also be presenting on how to use Tableau with PostgreSQL.

The East Bay PUG will be hosted at Turnitin.com again on December 9th, where the Turnitin team will be presenting on a technical topic. Watch the meetup announcement for updated details.

Finally, on January 5th, Pivotal will once again host a South Bay Meetup. Speakers and topics TBD.

On November 17th and 18th is pgConfSV. Registration is open and the full schedule is up. Be there!

On November 19th, the day after pgConfSV, Tableau is hosting an extended meetup which will cover using Tableau with PostgreSQL, Joe Conway on PL/R, and Álvaro Hernández Tortosa on Logical Decoding. This meetup will be in Palo Alto, and is expected to fill up very soon.

We are still looking to schedule a meetup in the city of San Francisco for late October or early November, but need a speaker for it. If you wanted to present, and didn't submit in time for pgConfSV, now's you chance. Contact the organizers through the meetup.

P.S. we are looking for a lightning talk for this meetup! Contact josh-at-postgresql.org.

Please sign up here.

Join us, and welcome Bruce.

In the wake of DockerCon, the July meetup in San Francisco will be all about Linux Containers:

• Chris Winslett of Compose.io will present Governor, an auto-failover system for managing a cluster of PostgreSQL replicas.
• Madhuri Yechuri of ClusterHQ will explain Flocker, which uses the brand-new plugin interface for Docker in order to support volume management and data migration for containers.

If you're not familiar with all of this containerish stuff, Josh Berkus will do a 5-minute primer on using Postgres with Docker at the beginning of the session. Hosted by Salesforce.com in their new Rincon Cafe.

(note: Salesforce will require attendees to RSVP with their full names, and sign a confidentiality statement, which will be supplied to attendees in advance)

Please sign up here.

Speakers will be announced soon.

Thanks so much to Rackspace for making these videos (and for hosting the event)!

• Turnitin.com will show off tools and technques they've learned and created at their offices in Oakland. This includes a preview of their presentations at pgCon.

• Andres will explain the new BDR and UDR replication at the Rackspace meeting space in San Francisco. Plus, Peter G. will talk about the recently-committed UPSERT.

Unfortunately, the Oakland one already has a waiting list, but get on it if you're interested in case of cancellations. And a big thank-you to Rackspace.com and Turnitin.com for sponsoring these meetups.

pgConfSV is also looking for sponsors. The conference will be on November 17 and 18th. Talk submissions are due by June 15th.

pgConf Silicon Valley is organized under the San Francisco PostgreSQL User Group, and is produced by CitusData.

Happy to announce that CK Tan from VitesseData will speak about how Vitesse DB speeds up analytics queries in PostgreSQL. Heikki Linnakangas will speak about pg_rewind.

Please register for the event, only registered users will be allowed into the building by security.

Also if you want to have Wifi access, please send an email to mustain@adobe.com not later than the 24th, please include "SBPUG" in the subject.

See you there!
