[pgpool-general: 3716] The very first time pgpool-II Day in Japan

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Hi,

We had the very first time pgpool-II Day in Tokyo, Japan
today. Pgpool-II developers including Ahsan Hady, Muhammad Usama,
Nozomi Anzai, Yugo Nagata and me got together and gave talks. About
100 audiences joined so far.

Because almost all of audiences were Japanese speakers, the language
used was Japanese. For the talks of Ahsan and Usama consecutive
interpreting was prepared.

First I presented "Past, now and future of pgpool-II". In the
presentation I stated that we hope pgpool-II 3.5 will be available in
the fall, and it will be 1.7 times faster than 3.4 when extended
protocol is used.

Next Usama explained his work on overhauling pcp commands and on going
effort to enhance watchdog.

Then Ahsan showed current usage of pgpool-II at the Enterprise DB
customers. Also he explains the bench marking result of pgpool-II 3.4.

Yugo gave a lecture of the architecture of watchdog.

Finally Nozomi showed a demo deploying a pgpool-II/watchdog/streaming
replication cluster within 5 minutes using the pgpool-II installer.

I believe the event was pretty successful and showed the bright future
of pgpool-II.

The event was sponsored by SRA OSS, Inc. Japan and Enterprise DB
(travel sponsor). I would like to thank to pgpool-II Development
Group, Asisuto, TIS and HP Japan for supporting the event.

month. Stay tuned).
