### [What Makes a Great KotlinConf Proposal?](https://yomu.fyi/post/what-makes-a-great-kotlinconf-proposal.md)

The KotlinConf 2027 Call for Papers is open, and the post offers guidance for crafting a strong proposal, emphasizing that a valuable talk can come from a simple lesson learned rather than a groundbreaking discovery. Reviewers first notice the overall care, including a clear title and focused abstract, and they can detect AI-generated content, so authenticity and a personal voice are crucial. A good proposal starts with a central story that identifies a problem, what was tried, and what was learned, even from a small project, and it should be tested with colleagues. The title should communicate the topic and benefit, avoiding vagueness, while the abstract should provide two to three paragraphs of meaningful detail that outline the talk’s journey and include concrete takeaways. The post advises choosing the right format between lightning and regular sessions, and reviewing the proposal for clarity and authenticity before submitting.

ClickHouse sponsored Postgres Summit US 2026 in New York City, where David Wheeler presented “Postgres in da ClickHouse” on integrating Postgres and ClickHouse for OLTP and OLAP workloads. He demoed four technologies: pg\_stat\_ch for query metrics, pg\_clickhouse for querying ClickHouse from Postgres (pushing down 16 of 22 TPC-H queries and supporting nearly all Postgres data types), chdb\_hook for efficient data lake file import/export via COPY (outperforming similar extensions), and WalShadow for sub-second physical replication. Other sessions covered pg\_plan\_advice in Postgres 19, index prefetching for Postgres 20, open source CDC plugins, and a graveyard of technologies that failed to “kill” SQL. Wheeler also attended talks on Postgres replication, African Postgres communities, and CloudNativePG extensions. The conference marked ClickHouse’s first Postgres conference sponsorship, with plans to sponsor PGConf.EU in Valencia.
