Video of Claire Giordano’s talk at Citus Con: An Event for Postgres. Abstract: Postgres is growing like gangbusters: in popularity, in adoption, and in the size of the ecosystem. And over 650 developers contribute code to the Postgres database: their expertise, dedication, and skill are big factors in the increasing popularity of Postgres. But what if you’re not a developer: are there things you can do to help the Postgres community? Or what if you are a developer, and you love this project, and you want to do even more: are there non-code ways to contribute to Postgres?

In the APAC livestream for Citus Con, Claire presented this updated version of the talk she gave in the PostgreSQL devroom at FOSDEM 2020. In it, she walks through 18 of the ways you can contribute to Postgres, beyond code—along with tips and resources for getting started.
