Interview with Christophe Berg

Talks

Could you briefly introduce yourself?: I’m Christoph Berg, 45 years old, living in Krefeld at the western end of Germany.
How do you engage with the PostgreSQL Community?: Together with colleagues, I am running the repository for PostgreSQL packages on Debian and Ubuntu, apt.postgresql.org. I’m also the primary maintainer of PostgreSQL in Debian. I also author patches, but that’s mostly smaller contributions.
Have you enjoyed previous PostgreSQL Europe conferences, either as an attendee or as a speaker? (PGConf.EU, FOSDEM PGDay, Nordic PGDay, pgDay Paris, PGConf.DE): I still have the T-shirt from the first European PostgreSQL conference in Prato.
What will your talk be about, exactly? Why this topic?: Devrim and myself will be talking about maintaining the RPM and Debian packages, what challenges we face, and what upcoming features we plan.
What is the audience for your talk?: Every user of the yum and apt repositories is welcome to join.
