The first #PostgreSQL #Edinburgh meetup was a success! Did you miss @vyruss delivering RAGTime with Postgres?

His comprehensive slides on learning about AI power with pgvector and Retrieval-Augmented Generation can be found here:

If you need some distraction this Christmas Day, you're near Leicester or Loughborough and money is tight, then the Great Central Railway are running some special steam services where they're insisting that you only pay what you can afford. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2025/12/leicestershire-railway-to-run-pay-what-you-can-afford-steam-train-service-this-christmas-day.html

Curious what to expect at @pgconfdev in 2026?
Tune in to a new #TalkingPostgres episode with @clairegiordano, featuring an interview with our co-organizer @melanieplageman. They cover what’s new for PGConf.dev 2026, how to strengthen your CFP submission, and the thoughtful (and sometimes creative!) ways we work to make PGConf.dev welcoming for newcomers and experienced community members alike.
