PostgreSQL Conference: East 08
The document discusses the growth and state of the PostgreSQL community over time. It notes that user groups first formed in Japan (2000), France (2005), the US (2006), and Italy (2007). In 2008, PostgreSQL.eu and PostgreSQL.us were formed to better support the European and US communities respectively. The document outlines elements needed for continued community growth, including growing the user base, supporting developers, improving education/training, strengthening infrastructure, and establishing common goals. It encourages the community to expand mentoring resources, push technological boundaries, and define its own vision and priorities to further progress.
