The meeting topic will be “PostgreSQL for non-Postgres Admins” presented by Andrew Rawnsley.

Andrew is the CTO of Investor Analytics, a New York City-based Risk Analytics firm. He has been a Postgres contributor for many years, and authored replication software for the database before it was widely available. Investor Analytics has used it in parallel with Oracle for over 10 years, and is currently in the process of converting all production databases to Postgres.

If the name Investor Analytics sounds familiar, it’s because that’s the company I sysadmin’d for over 6 years.

At the meeting, we’ll have socializing at 6:30 (with pizza and soda), and the presentation will begin at 7pm lasting until 8pm.

Please take this time to register at EventBrite (registration is free, but it lets me know how much pizza and soda to get).

Let me know if you need have any questions or concerns. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting!
