Good idea, that could be quite helpful!  I'm wondering if the minor versions
release dates and EOL info would deserve a dedicated calendar.  I know that
multiple teams provide their own packages, and they would probably enjoy a
curated calendar.

Absolutely, it'd be much easier having this info integrated with my
work/personal calendar, as that's how I try and organize things anyways.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Bruce,

It would certainly help in keeping track of things.

That did solve my problem:

Postgres calendar?

2022-10-04 Thread Bruce Momjian
Would people be interesting in subscribing to a Postgres calendar that
includes dates for minor releases, final minor release dates for major
versions, commit fests, and even Postgres events?  For example, it could
include information from:

https://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap/
https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/
https://www.postgresql.org/about/events/

We could even add information about beta, release candidate, and final
major releases, though the final release dates are usually not public.

This could be done in Google Calendar, with an exported ICS file, or via
a dedicated ICS file.  I could even automate it by scraping our website.

This is not a FQDN:

> "foobar.example.com".

A FQDN ends in dot '.' The dot denotes the top of the dns tree. So a
FQDN for the host would be:

foobar.example.com.

Anyone who tells you any different has not read W. Richard Stevens :)

PGSQL Phriday #001 - Two truths and a lie about PostgreSQL

2022-10-04 Thread Ryan Booz
Hello everyone!

Many months ago at PGConf NYC 2021 and on the pgsql-advocacy email list, I
talked about starting a monthly blogging event for the PostgreSQL
community. Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post explaining how the monthly
event would work and some of the first community members to host the first
six+ months. (https://www.softwareandbooz.com/introducing-psql-phriday/)

I'm pleased to share here that the first invite has been posted on my blog
and I'd be thrilled to have anyone contribute a blog post to the initiative
this Friday, October 7. The "rules" for contributing a post are outlined in
the invite, but please feel free to reach out to me if you have any
questions.
