Postgres Women

Postgres Women and Non-binary Community - Past, Present, Future

The original Postgres Women group was created to encourage and support women to become active members of the PostgreSQL community and foster recognition of their contribution to PostgreSQL development. We firmly believe that by developing a community with a diverse field of contributors, PostgreSQL has an opportunity to truly become the most advanced open source database not only in technological standards, but also in terms of widespread and diverse community involvement.

The Postgres Women and Non-binary (WNB) Community is open to everyone who identifies as a woman or non-binary, and to their allies. You can be a Postgres WNB ally by joining and supporting Postgres Women and our efforts.

We realize this name and acronym are a bit unwieldy, and we are open to suggestions for improvement so that the name accurately reflects the community and its goals.

Postgres WNB is decentralized; there is no one group of organizers and no official hierarchy.

Postgres WNB activities are up to individuals and groups who are interested in organizing them—if you have an idea, post it to the email list and the LinkedIn Group, and see who joins in to make it happen!

Events such as breakfasts, coffee socials, and informal gatherings are often as simple as putting in the proposal during a conference CFP, and confirming attendee numbers with the conference organizers.

Postgres Women India has an active presence in the community, including regular meetings and events, training sessions, and a mentorship program. You can find them at https://postgreswomen.in
