Growing the PostgreSQL Community: My experience organising local events in different geographies
Thursday, October 24 at 11:50–12:40
In this talk, I’ll share my journey of organizing PostgreSQL events and meetups in various places such as Australia and Spain. Since I first got into the PostgreSQL world in 2013, I’ve seen its popularity skyrocket.
I’ll talk about how community events have helped spread the word about PostgreSQL and why they’re so important for the growth and health of the PostgreSQL ecosystem. I’ll share some tips on running successful community events and, more importantly, why they’re worth the effort.
I’ll also explain why it’s crucial for companies, even competitors, to work together to organise these events. By collaborating, we can grow PostgreSQL’s market share in the database industry, which benefits everyone.
Lastly, I’ll discuss how the energy and contributions from the community help ensure PostgreSQL stays strong and keeps improving. This talk will give a perspective on why building PostgreSQL’s popularity matters and how community events play a big part in that.
