   Presentations:
   1. Coroutines (by Benjamin Kowarsch)
   Coroutines are a multi-threading model that is a highly
   scalable alternative to preemptive threads. There is an
   interesting paper called "Revisiting Coroutines" by 
   De Moura and Ierusalimschy of the Polytechnic University 
   of Rio de Janeiro, and of Lua fame.

   This paper was the basis to redesign coroutines in Modula-2. 
   Benjamin will show how coroutines differ from preemptive 
   threads and what kind of support there is in different languages.

   2. PostgreSQL 9.4, 9.5 and Beyond (by Satoshi Nagayasu)
   Recently, PostgreSQL has succeeded in getting popularity 
   among web developers. In this talk, Satoshi will introduce 
   the new features in the latest release 9.4 (JSON, Analytics,
   Logical Decoding, etc.) to take advantages of the latest
   PostgreSQL advancement, and share a quick look in the upcoming 
   release 9.5. And he will also introduce his personal projects
   around PostgreSQL.
