Re: Postgres Women talk at pgconfeu

Hello everyone,

I really like Valeria’s idea! I’m an analyst, so I’m a bit biased :) but I already have some possible ways to present in mind.

I can start preparing/proposing concrete subjects by the beginning of July, so there is still time for brainstorming - and channels need to be considered carefully, it would be nice to target specifically people who are going to attend PGConf, but of course everyone in the community should be involved.

Have a great day!

I think this will help to see whether PostgreSQL community is reflective of a broader IT groups etc.
