EDIT: I have updated the date in the title for a new date on Thursday, but I’ll create new posts in future

Save the date! Which platform should we try this time?

Previously we’ve stuck with Google Meet, but suggestions would be very welcome! We use https://www.gather.town/ daily internally and could attempt to open up our virtual office for the afternoon…

I’m interesting in attending. Once you have the platform + link let me know.

gather.town looks kinda interesting, although maybe there’s a learning curve?

Hey @kpassapk (ping!) thanks for the reply - using Gather should be pretty easy - let’s find out :slightly_smiling_face: I’ve opened a temporary guest access link here that will work for the next 6 hours: Gather

I’ll personally be free to chat 15:00-16:00 UTC, but the office will be open to visitors in the meantime also and others in the team here may be around too - catch you soon!

Thanks to @kpassapk (Lima, Peru) and @dekkers (Nijmegen, Netherlands) for showing up with a bunch of interesting topics and questions.

We didn’t record the session, but to give a brief summary, we discussed:

  1. The use of XTDB (v1) in OpenKat for integrating security monitoring/analytics data, where valid-time is used to generate PDF reports on cyber security for the Dutch government
  2. On-prem deployments of XTDB are still very important (even if it’s sometimes only for ~arbitrary reasons) - whatever we do here will probably look like Kubernetes, hopefully turn-key, and maybe with MinIO and Redpanda thrown in
  3. Relatedly, the tipping points and complexities of running Postgres on-prem and how XTDB would ideally be a simpler citizen to manage and scale
  4. The world of data viz and notebook tooling across R/Python/Clojure - also RVBBIT :smile:
  5. Pre-baked Grafana support for XTDB is coming soon

I’ll aim to run a similar session again on Thursday (10th Oct) at 15:00 UTC …until next time!
