DIGITAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY: CONCERNS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been protecting and fighting for our
civil liberties for over 30 years. In those 30 years a lot has happened: Our
relationship to the internet has fundamentally changed, and yet, in many ways,
our understanding of how it works has remained stagnant. 30 years ago, the
Internet was a mystical place of wizardry with many unknowns, and a realm which
was difficult to access. Today it’s a core part of our life that we have become
reliant on, and while it...

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF LOGICAL REPLICATION

In this talk, I will tell how the Logical Replication has been evolved over
years in PostgreSQL. This will explain some of the major recent enhancements
like facilitating logical replication of two-phase and large in-progress
transactions. I will share my views on how this technology can be leveraged to
build a highly scalable and available database solution for large Enterprises.
After that, I will also talk about some of the important enhancements being
discussed in this technology area...

P_______SQL: ENGINE BEHIND A DE-IDENTIFIED MEDICAL DATA PLATFORM

Receiving, de-identifying and processing medical data pose many challenges in
the real-world. Non-uniformity, multitude of formats, lack of structure and a
volume of data create unique problems in data storying, querying and management.
Careful separation of sensitive data is required at all times, and retaining
this separation ends with some interesting design problems. In this talk we
present a path we took at Segmed to build a highly scalable, ML-enabled
de-identified data warehouse, where...

IVORYSQL

There are many users who need to migrate their applications from Oracle to the
open source Postgres, but in order to support the new database, users often need
to re-develop the application, which is inconvenient. If there is a database
based on Postgres and compatible with most Oracle syntax and functions, it will
be too convenient for customers. However, the official Postgres project will not
accept this kind of code submission. After all, Postgres is Postgres, and Oracle
is Oracle. So,...

5 TIPS FOR BUILDING SCALABLE APPLICATION WITH ORM AND AMAZON RDS POSTGRESQL

Are you building a data driven application? Are you using Object-Relational
Mapping (ORM)? Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL makes it fast and simple for you to get
started with familiar database engines and ORM. As your business grows, you need
a cloud solution that scales with you. In this talk, learn about tips to
optimize ORM and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. Discover how to build a database
with the flexibility to adjust, use, and break down other purpose-built
databases as your business scales.

NON-RELATIONAL POSTGRES

Postgres has always had strong support for relational storage. However, there
are many cases where relational storage is either inefficient or overly
restrictive. This talk shows the many ways that Postgres has expanded to support
non-relational storage, specifically the ability to store and index multiple
values, even unrelated ones, in a single database field. Such storage allows for
greater efficiency and access simplicity, and can also avoid the negatives of
entity-attribute-value (eav)...

fast local reads with low latency in each Region, and provides disaster recovery
(DR) from Region-wide outages. In this session, learn how to plan for
cross-Region DR and easily scale Aurora reads across the world to place your
applications close to your users. You also...

Code of Conduct
x
Code of Conduct




INTRODUCTION

Postgres Conference (PostgresConf) prides itself on the quality of our community
and our work, and the technical and professional accomplishments of our
community. We expect everyone who participates to conduct themselves in a
professional manner, acting with common courtesy and in the common interest,
with respect for all of our community.

It is the expectation that PostgresConf community members will adhere to the
PostgresConf Code of Conduct (CoC).


INCLUSIVITY AND APPROPRIATE CONDUCT

PostgresConf is open to participation by anyone with an interest in working with
Postgres and related technologies, regardless of their level of experience with
the software, or with technology in general. We encourage contributions from all
individuals, whatever their background may be.

Personal attacks and negative comments on personal characteristics are
unacceptable, and will not be permitted. Examples of personal characteristics
include, but are not limited to age, race, national origin or ancestry,
religion, political affiliation, gender, or sexual orientation.

Additional behaviors which are also violations of this CoC include, but are not
limited to, threats of violence against an individual or group, threats of
professional, community, and/or project sabotage, unwelcome sexual attention in
any form, engaging in behavior that may bring PostgresConf into disrepute, and
refusing to cease inappropriate conduct when requested to do so.


RETALIATION

It is also expressly forbidden for anyone to retaliate against a person who
brings a complaint under this CoC, or who assists in investigating such a
complaint. Retaliation may take the form of, among other actions: further
personal attacks (public or private); actions which undermine an individual's
professional status and/or status with their employer, coworkers, clients, or
community; actions which threaten the individual's privacy, physical person,
well-being, home, and/or family. Acts of retaliation will be treated in the same
manner as any other violation of this CoC.


REPORTING

PostgresConf believes that only objective parties can properly handle Code of
Conduct issues. Therefore we contract with Lighthouse an independent and
objective party to handle all reports.

There are three ways to submit a report 24 hours a day:

 * Website: https://www.lighthouse-services.com/postgresconf

 * Toll-Free Telephone:

 * English speaking USA and Canada: 833-490-0007

 * Spanish speaking USA and Canada: 800-216-1288

 * E-mail: reports@lighthouse-services.com (include PG Central Foundation within
   the report)


ACTING IN GOOD FAITH

Any allegations that prove not to be substantiated, and which prove to have been
made maliciously or knowingly to be false, will be viewed as a serious community
offense and a violation of this CoC.


CONCLUSION

We encourage appropriate and collegial relationships among community members;
however, members must be sensitive to conduct that may be considered offensive
by fellow members and must refrain from engaging in such conduct.

In all interactions with the community, use your professional judgment, and keep
the discussion focused on moving our project and our community forward in a
positive direction for all.



Presentation Guidelines
x
Presentation Guidelines




WHY GUIDELINES

The Postgres Conference is a non-profit, community driven conference series
delivering the largest education and advocacy platform for Postgres. In an
effort to create a productive and profitable environment for our community we
must set a bar of expectation for content and we set the bar high.

The community is comprised of users, developers, core-contributors, sponsors,
advocates, and external communities. We work hard to create a professional,
valuable, and highly educational environment that produces a net result of,
“Wow, that conference was very well done. It had great content with
knowledgeable professionals, educators and advocates!”


TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS WE ACCEPT

Any presentation that has a tie-in to Postgres will be considered for acceptance
into one of our event programs. This includes, but is not limited to,
presentations on Open Source Projects, Postgres forks, extensions, new APIs, and
languages. As a conference that makes it a goal to incorporate the entire
community we also consider business cases, product talks, and service
presentations. Presentations that are not related to the success of Postgres
will not be considered.


LAPTOP CONNECTIONS SUPPORTED

The Postgres Conference will provide a HDMI connection. If you do not have a
HDMI port, it is the speaker’s responsibility to provide an adapter.


WHAT ABOUT X TECHNOLOGY?

When considering whether to submit a topic or not, ask yourself, “Is this
presentation in some way related to the success of Postgres?” If it is, then it
will be considered. This includes limitations of our great database. It also
includes forks of Postgres both closed and Open Source. These types projects and
products ultimately contribute to the success of Postgres.


HOW DO PRESENTATIONS ON FORKS OR CLOSED SOURCE VERSIONS HELP THE SUCCESS OF
POSTGRES?

Postgres is BSD style licensed. The BSD license is a true freedom license. The
only license that maintains a higher level of freedom for Open Source
development is the anti-license: Public Domain. That means the community
embraces all forms of use for Postgres as long as it abides by the license.

A presentation on RDS Postgres, Google Cloud Postgres or Greenplum increases
overall success via visibility, lowers the barrier of entry for new Postgres
users, and supports our commercial community with hard earned efforts to create
Postgres products.


SHOULDN’T THE COMMUNITY BE PROMOTING OPEN SOURCE SOLUTIONS OVER PROPRIETARY
CLOSED SOURCE SOLUTIONS?

Yes, the end goal is that the deployed Postgres is the Open Source Postgres and
preference will always be given to Open Source Postgres presentations. However,
we offer presentation opportunities to our sponsors that may or may not advocate
Open Source Postgres. Sponsors are welcome to present on any topic as long as it
follows the guideline of: Does it promote the success of Postgres?


TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS

PostgresConf offers several presentation opportunities:

 * Presentation: 20 minutes
 * Breakout Sessions: 50 minutes
 * Keynotes: 10 and 20 minutes
 * Half and Full Day trainings (NOTE: Paid registrants receive priority seating,
   and trainings are restricted according to badge level)
