The 2024 GA report primarily covers activities during 2023, but will also mention some happenings during 2024.
See the Financial report, section "Activities".
FOSDEM was finally back in person, along with the separate PGDay on the Friday before the main event. PostgreSQL had the usual stand during the main event, as well as a full day of devroom sessions. The PGDay attracted 112 people.
Nordic PGDay was held in Stockholm, Sweden, with 155 attendees which was a new record for Nordic PGDay.
pgDay.Paris was held, unsurprisingly, in Paris with 117 attendees.
We started a new series of conferences inthe Mediterranean called PGDay/MED. Unfotunately, this first conference was not a success, with only 26 attendees.
PGConf.DE this year was held in Essen, and had 254 attendees which was a new record for PGConf.DE.
A London event returned, now run by PostgreSQL Europe. The first of this round of PGDay UK attracted 73 attendees.
PGConf.EU returned to Prague, the first time we repeated a city (we were previously in Prague in 2012), and set another new reord with 722 attendees!
2024 has been a year packed with events. We've seen a new event in the PostgreSQL Europe portfolio with PGDay Lowlands in Amsterdam. The full details will be in next years GA.
In the 2023 elections, Dave Page and Lætitia Avrot were both re-elected.
In the 2024 elections, Magnus Hagander was re-elected to the board, and Karen Jex was elected as a new member. PostgreSQL Europe thanks Ilya Kosmodemiansky who leaves the board after this election.
This work was ongoing in 2023, and has finally completed in 2024.
The trademark disputes involving PostgreSQL Europe have been concluded. It took a lot of time, effort and money, but the PostgreSQL community remains in control of it's trademarks.
