A report from PDXPUG: A couple weeks ago, PDXPUG staffed a Postgres booth at PyCon, which was held in Portland, OR, USA. (https://us.pycon.org/2017/) Folks there were very excited to see us! It seems Python developers are very pro Postgres. We had a lot of booth traffic. Gabrielle said she talked to more folks than she has the past couple of OSCONs together (~4000 attendees at OSCON, compared to PyCon’s ~3400). Rough breakdown: A large percentage of the booth visitors just stopped by to tell us how much they love using Postgres, and to grab a bunch of stickers for their teammates. The remainder who stuck around to talk and ask questions were mainly intermediate level devs, sys admins, and a few DBAs. Questions tended along the lines of: How do I do [x] better? Can you tell me more about [x] feature? How do people actually solve [x] problem? Tell me what’s great about 9.6 (or 10)! Several folks expressed disappointment that there weren't any Postgres talks; something to think about if PyCon comes to your neighborhood!
