Cycling

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive load, and a recovery week at the end of the cycle. Session: * 10 - 20’ warm up (easy run and drills) * Core session (ie. 6x5' - 2' recovery) * Cool down We run together during Warm-up, and cool down and tey to regroup during recovery time. Paces are not imposed (everyone runs at his/her own pace) given the intensity suggested. Notes: It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the session, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'15"/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

Hello Postgres folks! We’re happy to announce our next in-person PostgreSQL meetup, which will take place at ULB in **Brussels** 🇧🇪 📅 **When:** Tuesday, **10 March 2026** 📍 **Where:** Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Brussels Solbosch campus, same location as FOSDEM, just make sure to find the right building and room 📌 **Room:** S.UA6.124/128 Building U, door A, level 6, room 124 Campus map: https://www.ulb.be/en/solbosch/campus-map Address: Avenue Paul Héger 22, 1050 Brussels This meetup will follow our usual after-work format, with talks, discussions, and plenty of time to catch up with fellow PostgreSQL enthusiasts over food and drinks. **Program** * **18:00** Doors open * **18:20** Welcome by PostgreSQL Users Group Belgium * **18:30** "*MobilityDB: Bringing Mobility Data Inside PostgreSQL*" by Esteban Zimanyi (ULB) * **19:00** "*Scaling Semantic Models: Bespoke PostgreSQL Schemas at SaaS Scale*" by Thijs Lemmens * **19:30** "*Percona Operator for PostgreSQL: An Honest Overview*" by Yoann La Cancellera (Percona) * **20:00** Food & Drinks 🍕 Sponsored by Percona * **21:00** Close A big thanks to **Mahmoud Sakr (ULB)** for hosting and to **Percona** for sponsoring the event 🙏 **More details about the talks:** * **MobilityDB: Bringing Mobility Data Inside PostgreSQL** *MobilityDB is an open source data management and analytics platform for mobility data (https://github.com/MobilityDB/MobilityDB). Its core function is to efficiently store and query mobility tracks such as vehicle GPS trajectories. Built on top of PostgreSQL and PostGIS, it provides spatiotemporal data management via SQL.* *Because it is implemented as a native PostgreSQL extension, MobilityDB can be deployed in traditional on premise setups as well as cloud and edge environments without requiring a separate data platform.* * **Scaling Semantic Models: Bespoke PostgreSQL Schemas at SaaS Scale** *While most CMS platforms rely on generic EAV tables, ContentGrid generates native PostgreSQL schemas directly from user-defined semantic models. We’ll discuss the challenges of automating DDL migrations for thousands of unique schemas and the infrastructure patterns we use to keep this model-driven approach performant, isolated, and manageable at scale.* * **Percona Operator for PostgreSQL: An Honest Overview** *In this talk, we review the Percona Operator for PostgreSQL, how it derives from its Crunchy foundation, how it is architected, and the capabilities it provides. We will examine its strengths and weaknesses, how it approaches vendor lock in, and the strategy shaping the project.* *The goal is not to present a feature list or a how to guide, but to focus on architectural considerations and operational tradeoffs.* We’re looking forward to another great evening of PostgreSQL, community, and good conversations in Brussels. See you there! 🐘💛🖤❤️

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter. Program: 15’ warm up **To be defined** Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more S=All out sprint RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed) CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold) J = Jog, recuperation Notes: It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point. It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims. As the participation is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves.

This Sunday, we'll be off for a loop from Aywaille, with a little stop at a brewery on the way. We start from Aywaille going south and up into the hills. The path will first take us first through some forest before the landscape opens up and we will pass fields and some villages on the way. After about two hours, we will reach the manor house where the Misery Beer Co is located (https://www.miserybeerco.be). If they are nice people and let us have our sandwiches there, we will use this as our lunch break spot (possibility to buy drinks). We continue the hike through Harze with its impressive chateau before finally descending back into Aywaille, where we will find a bar for our final drink. Please note that trains back are only every two hours. I expect to be in Aywaille in time for the 17.23 train, but no guarantee, and I will not break into a run to make that train. So please do not sign up if you need to be back at a specific time, or unless you are prepared to break from the group and rush ahead by yourself. As the number of participants is limited, it is important that you manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!). We will try to keep close to an average speed of about 4.5 km/h. We will walk mainly on unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning (i.e. it may become longer ;-). ●●You can find the gpx track here: **Wikilocs:** https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/wanderung-nach-misery-beer-company-253702625 **Komoot**: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2514955856?share_token=arLuZVmmkV1kzNNR4jHlohEhhLyVIZLLMwMTJdx5tlq9DFJOTB&ref=wtd ●●Meeting point: We meet at 8h45 in the main hall of Gare Central, in front of Starbucks. Our train (IC507 to Eupen) leaves at 9.01. We change train in Liege (10.07 IC5310 to Troisviege) and arrive in Aywaille at 10.40. ●● Train tickets: BXL-Aywaille 14.90€/9.00€ with train+ each way ●● Back to Brussels: From Aywaille there are trains only every two hours. I will aim to get the one at 17.23, but no guarantees! The next would be 19.23. ●● Specifics: Distance: ca 25 km Elevation gain: around 500m Net walking time: ca 6 h Weather forecast: undecided, but not horrible In the unlikely case of too bad weather, we may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, we will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the Meetup.com website and/or your emails. ●● What to bring: * Comfortable hiking clothes &shoes * rain gear (just in case) * water and drink for the breaks * Compeed for blisters * some small money for drinks ●● Basic rules: Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list. ●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability: You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. As the participation in the events is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves. By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organisers from any responsibility and liability.

After several walks and activities together, it felt like a good idea to simply **meet and spend some relaxed time together**. So this is a very simple gathering: we meet on the **terrace of the Maison du Prieur at Rouge-Cloître**, have a drink, talk, and get to know each other. No formal activity, no structure — just a moment to connect with other members of the **Happy Body community**. If the weather is nice, Rouge-Cloître is one of the most beautiful natural spots in Brussels, with forests, ponds and quiet paths. Feel free to come for **10 minutes or stay longer**.

You can now join us for some friendly Badminton games on Wednesdays too! All levels welcome! IMPORTANT: in order to secure your place you’ll need to both book a spot on Meetup AND pay €8 by Sunday 18h00.
