PGUG.EE July 2026 meetup
Join us in Tallinn on **July 2nd at 18:00** for our next meetup, hosted by [Entigo](https://www.entigo.com/)! This time, we will explore the ins and outs of building and managing your own PostgreSQL setup, guided by two amazing speakers.

**Making Access Control Management Easy: Introducing pg_acm**
PostgreSQL does not have any prescribed guidelines for the use of schemas, also called namespaces. A namespace is just one of many attributes of an object, whether an object is a table, a view, a function, or any other object type available in PostgreSQL. One of the common reasons for using schemas is to simplify access control management. The idea is straightforward: all objects within one schema should have identical access privileges. As simple as it sounds, the practical implementation of this approach can quickly turn into an operational nightmare unless all participants agree to follow a set of rules that are difficult to enforce. That is, unless you use pg_acm: an access control management tool for PostgreSQL, which we are going to introduce in this talk. The only thing you need to do is to define an access management policy for your database. Once it is defined, a CREATE SCHEMA command will invoke the creation of a set of event triggers and roles. All of them, working together, will ensure your access policy enforcement. No more accidental grants to PUBLIC. No more mysterious โpermission deniedโ errors. You are in control.

**How Hard Can a Simple Kubernetes PostgreSQL Self-Service Be?**
"How hard can it be?" We thought building a simple self-service was easy: let developers order a PostgreSQL instance, its databases, and users straight from the Kubernetes API, without caring which cloud runs underneath. Using managed services like AWS RDS behind a clean Crossplane-based interface, the first prototype came together fast and then day 2 arrived. This talk is a field report on everything between "it works!" and production: Kubernetes finalizers and RDS deletion protection that trap objects in limbo, backups you can only restore into a brand-new instance, and the day a user deleted an entire namespace and took our teardown logic with it. Along the way we leaned on Kyverno policies as duct tape and an upstream PR still stuck in review. If you build self-service infrastructure on Kubernetes or just enjoy other people's operational scar tissue you'll leave with concrete patterns and a healthy respect for the word "simple."

* Who is God, and what is the Trinity?

The Completely Series - Field Shoot
These events on the schedule are to serve three purposes:
1. These will serve as field shoots targeted at The Completely Series homework. Generally, each of these shoots will focus on the homework assigned in the two prior weeks. So locations and topics will be picked to match those expectations.
2. Additionally, these events are to serve as placeholders for TIME OF DAY. They are intended to be modified as needed to capture SUNRISE and/or EARLY MORNING light. They will likely be modified to time out for the IDEAL light on that day, at that location. EXPECT THEM TO BE MODIFIED as the time of year changes and/or schedule conflicts occur. But THERE WILL BE at least one morning shoot per month.
3. Lastly, they are also to serve as semi-monthly morning shoots for the group as a whole. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE IN THE COMPLETELY SERIES to attend any of these morning field shoots.
Locations and specifics will be updated as the event date approaches.
Conversation and Coffee @ Belle's Bread Bakery
Hey Everyone!

This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it โseems good,โ and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, weโll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weโll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
Weโll cover:
* Why โit looks goodโ is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works โ and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, youโll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
FIFA World Cup Final Watch Party
We will meet at the Hofbrรคuhaus at 2:00 and then walk down to the Crew Stadium for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final watch party.
