    • Wrapping up my 2024 with Trino

      What happened? Did another year really just whizz past me? I am still typing 2024 dates, but it is true. 2025 is here, and soon we will also switch to the new lunar year, so it is time to look back and recapture my year with Trino and Commander Bun Bun.

      In a nutshell, my 2024 was a very good year for Trino, Commander Bun Bun, and the Trino contributor and user community. Check out my recap blog post for the Trino project itself for some overall stats and information, and then let’s see what I got done.

    • Recap about DET meetup and Open Source Summit in Seattle

      It has already been over week since I got back from Seattle, where I attended the Open Source Summit NA in the beautiful convention centre. In the same trip I also presented at the Data Engineer Things group’s inaugural meeting in Bellevue. Both events were very successful for Starburst as sponsor of my trip, Trino as the open source SQL query engine I talk about, and myself as a learning participant in many talks and great conversations.

    • In service of Trino and Commander Bun Bun

       

      It all started many years ago when I regularly taught virtual and in person training classes for Apache Maven and Sonatype Nexus. At some stage when working on the Takari material Jason van Zyl suggested that we use Trino (then still called Presto) as an example for a Maven multi-module project. That was the first time I got in contact with the Trino codebase.

    • On FLOSS Weekly about Presto/Trino

      I have been watching the FLOSS Weekly video podcast on and off for many years now. It was a special treat to be a guest of Randal yesterday. Together with Dain Sundstrom we talked about Presto and tried to answer the questions from Randal, co-host Simon Phipps and the audience on the live chat. It was great to be a guest and spread the word about Presto and our book Presto: The Definitive Guide.

      Check out the recording on TWIT now!

      Talking to them made me think of the open source efforts for Java and my attendance of Java One and chatting with Simon then. Time flies!

      Free Book No. 5 – Presto The Definitive Guide

      I was always an avid reader, maxing out the number of books allowed for checkout from the library with each visit. And if I had the time I would still read as many books as way back when I was a teen. Now my boys read about that much, and I can not keep up. Back then I would have never thought that I ever pivot to writing books. Although my school reports already went long, and I could easily write dozens of pages in a report. Hopefully without too much rambling 😉

      Wow … re-reading the stuff you wrote not long ago again and again is exhausting. But it is one of the steps necessary when you write a book. And by my own count I am now at book number five: Presto: The Definitive Guide
