  Committees: Current members are encouraged to participate in the further development and growth of the Association through committee participation. Current committees include:

  • Conference: The Conference Committee promotes the education of the public about PostgreSQL by running annual conferences, either directly or by working with an organization committee for the event, in particular the PgConfNYC national conference as well as smaller PgDay conferences around the country.
  • Diversity: The Diversity Committee promotes an inclusive environment in the PostgreSQL community through outreach programs and the support of educational endeavors for underrepresented PostgreSQL users in the United States.
  • Expo: The Expo Committee promotes the use and education of PostgreSQL by exhibiting at various non-PostgreSQL events, either directly or by working with other volunteers, in-person or virtually, where those events are suitably aligned with PgUS's mission (eg: non-profit, volunteer-run general events such as SCALE, or open-source focused events such as FOSS4G).
  • User Group: The User Group Committee promotes the education of the public about PostgreSQL by holding monthly, semi-monthly, or other regularly scheduled local meetings (aka "meetups") to bring together those interested in learning about PostgreSQL (either physically or virtually), either directly or by working with local organizers of PostgreSQL User Groups (aka PUGs).

  Candidates for committee membership should be able to participate in regular conference call meetings, and be able to commit to a minimum of 5 hours per month for committee contributions. Interested members should send their intent to contact (at sign) postgresql (dot) us for consideration. All candidates will be reviewed by the Board and the current members of that Committee, and upon approval will be appointed by the Board.

• We are pleased to add Sarah Conway to the PgUS Board and to have Jonathan S. Katz and Mark Wong continue on the PgUS Board for an additional term.
