Hi all,
I’m interested in starting the Cincinnati PUG. The Operating Manual has been great resource for getting a plan together.
In terms of using Meetup, I’m curious what everyone’s feelings have been. I have personally come to ignore it and simply subscribe to local user group mailing lists. I have also found that dormant Meetup groups are maybe more demoralizing that non-existent ones (I.e., a dormant one in Cincinnati May have deterred my interest in cultivating a group).
If others have found it useful it though, I’d be willing to try it.
Are there any steps or tips not outlined in the wiki that you’d want to share?
I am the CTO for Integrity Express Logistics and we have a large cafe/outdoor area that would be great to host meetups, plus IEL is in Blue Ash which is pretty centrally located in Cincinnati.
Our background with PG as company is this:
- In 2015, IEL hired me as a consultant to help build their custom ERP
- At the time, the dev working on it had chosen MySQL
- I spearheaded the transition to PG for numerous reasons, including because PG had support for more advanced features such as CTEs and window functions.
- We've been running it flawlessly in production for 3 years and love it
- We're currently undertaking a project to implement Patroni and are starting to look at Greenplum
