PDXPUG: June meeting in two weeks

When: 7-9pm Thu June 19, 2014
Where: Iovation
Who: David Kerr
What: Postgres on Docker

David Kerr's back this month to talk about Postgres on Docker.

Linux containers are finally getting their day, and leading the way is a
project known as Docker. Docker is in use today at places like Google,
eBay, and New Relic and aims to change the way we think about deploying
software.

Join us as we get a quick primer on Docker and then run it through its
paces with the not-so-typical, but interesting, use-case of running
PostgreSQL in a container.

We'll look at benchmarks, and various novel use cases where Docker may be
an interesting fit in the database world.

Dave Kerr is a recovering DBA, PostgreSQL evangelist and is currently
working as a Software Engineer on the Site Engineering team at New Relic.

We have a new meeting location while the Iovation offices are being
renovated. We're still in the US Bancorp Tower at 111 SW 5th (5th & Oak),
but on the ground floor in the Training Room. As you face the bank of
elevators from the main lobby, take a good deep breath of drywall just and
head to your right to a hallway. Follow the hallway as it turns to the
left. The Training Room is the 2nd door on your right and is labeled
"Training Room". There is no room number.

The building is on the Green & Yellow Max lines. Underground bike parking
is available in the parking garage; outdoors all around the block in the
usual spots.

See you there!
