Claire Giordano ✨<p>This is the best pic I have of the late Simon Riggs who passed away yesterday 26 Mar 2024. 💔 Simon's far-reaching influence in the Postgres world changed the course of so many lives. I took this photo when Simon was giving his Postgres keynote at <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PGConfEU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PGConfEU</span></a> 2023 last December in Prague. RIP Simon, you will be missed by so many people, whose hearts are broken right now 💔 </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SimonRiggs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SimonRiggs</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RIP</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Postgres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Postgres</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PostgreSQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostgreSQL</span></a></p>
