Diversity Task Force

Last updated: 14 September 2025

We have created a Diversity Task Force because it is important to us that everyone feels welcomed and valued within the PostgreSQL Europe community. We also know that a diverse community brings a range of viewpoints, skills and expertise that is essential to the ongoing success of the PostgreSQL project.

The goal of the Diversity Task Force is to put in place initiatives to support diversity and inclusion within the PostgreSQL Europe community.

The work of the Diversity Task Force is overseen by the Diversity Committee.

The Committee can be contacted by email at diversity(at)postgresql.eu, and you can keep up to date on the Committee's work by following us on

LinkedIn (PostgreSQL Europe Diversity Task Force), Mastodon (@PostgreSQLEuropeDiversity@hachyderm.io) or Bluesky (@pgeudiversity.bsky.social).

The work of the task force is taking place in two (overlapping) phases:

Phase 1: Research

The goal of the initial research phase is to define the specific objectives of the task force. In particular:

  • Identify the areas in which improvement is most needed.
  • Ask the community to share their expectations with us.
  • Agree (with the PostgreSQL Europe board) an initial budget for the work.
  • Identify metrics that can be used to measure the progress made towards each of the objectives.

Phase 2: Implementation

During the second phase, we are putting in place the necessary structures that will allow us to work towards the objectives that were identified in the research phase.

This phase involves activities such as:

  • Creating specific groups or project teams.
  • Setting up diversity funds.
  • Implementing rules and/or guidelines for community events.
  • Collaborating with other groups that have similar goals (for example the United States PostgreSQL Association Diversity Committee).
  • Taking inspiration from, and creating links with, other communities.

Members of the community with relevant expertise and/or interest are invited to help with these tasks.

Our Commitments

  • The task force will share regular updates with the community during the entire process.
  • Although the task force itself is temporary, the initiatives put in place will be long term.
