Submitting Community Events

Hi,

There is a new feature on the website available to event organizers on the event submission page[1]: the ability to submit your event as a community event!

A community event is an event that adheres to the “Community Conference Recognition” guidelines[2]. If your event follows these guidelines, please check the “Community Event” when you submit your event. Upon selecting “Community Event,” a text box will appear asking you to describe why your event is a community event. Please do your best to reference the guidelines[2], which are linked to from the form. This process is supposed to be self-certifying: moderators will perform basic verification but will not reach out unless there are outstanding questions.

"Community Events" are displayed in their own group on the website. We are working on adding a little badge next to the community events to highlight them!

If you have an upcoming event that is already approved and you believe it should be listed as a Community Event, please send an email to webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org <mailto:webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org> explaining why it is a community event and a moderator will review.

If you have any questions on the “Community Conference Recognition"[2] please send an email to webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org <mailto:webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org> and a moderator will gladly help you. Note that statements containing must indicates REQUIREMENT and ones with should indicates RECOMMENDATION per RFC 2119[3].

Thanks - now please help us show off all of the great Postgres community activity occurring around the world!

Jonathan
