Community Summit – PGConf EU Edition
Tuesday, October 21 at 09:00–12:30
Community building, support, and maintenance are all critical to the future of Postgres. There are many types and layers to community building from events, podcasts, & meetups to extracurricular fun like chess & karaoke; recognition & rewards to Postgres booths at non-Postgres conferences; getting started in smaller communities to wrangling a global one.
In this 3-hour summit (with 2 90-minute sessions with 4 breakouts each) we will:
- Perform an “unconference” like exercise to determine which aspects of community we should cover. The hosts will come armed with some teaser topics, but the group will be asked to add to the list and then vote.
- Break into smaller groups to tackle areas the group believes are most important
- Report out to the larger group by each small group
- Each group adds their results to the PostgreSQL Wiki
- Determine a way for us to track our progress moving forward
Due to the interactive nature of the summit participation is limited to 60 people. Participants should be committed to build, support, or maintain a community in some way, and be ready to leave the summit with concrete action items to move the Postgres community forward. While the hosts from this summit are from the US & Europe, we hope that folks from less established Postgres communities will join us.
