Fibonacci Spirals and Ways to Contribute to Postgres—Beyond Code | Citus Con 2022
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?
