1. Call for Posters: PGConf.dev 2026

   Andrey Borodin <x4mmm@yandex-team.ru> — 2026-02-05T17:45:56Z

   Hi hackers!
   
   As we prepare for the PostgreSQL Development Conference 2026
   (PGConf.dev 2026), scheduled for May 19–22 in Vancouver, Canada, we
   are excited to host a poster session showcasing the contributions and
   projects within our community.
   
   If you're planning to attend PGConf.dev 2026, your participation would
   be an invaluable addition. We also welcome remote authors — we can
   print and display your poster. On-site presenters will be prioritized
   for prime locations.
   
   The goal of the poster session is to visually present your patch or
   project on an A1-sized poster (594 x 841 mm, ~24 x 36 inches). We
   encourage you to include:
   
      * A visual representation of your patch or project
      * The PGConf.dev 2026 conference logo
      * Information on what attention or collaboration your project
        requires
      * Contact details for potential collaborators to reach you or your
        team (e.g. a QR code to your patch or project, email, or
        messenger)
   
   Scope includes core patches, bug fixes, extensions, tools, research,
   and community initiatives (CI, testing, diversity, interest groups).
   Commercial products are OK if they offer substantive technical content;
   closed source must be disclosed. Submissions that appear to be 
   advertisements are unlikely to be accepted.
   
   To submit, send an email expressing your interest. Include your name,
   employer, topic, and whether you plan to attend in person.
   
      * Expression of interest: April 14th, 2026
      * Final PDF: April 30th, 2026
      * Full details: https://2026.pgconf.dev/cfp#posters
   
   Posters will be displayed throughout the conference. Authors are
   invited to be present during dedicated "coffee + poster session"
   breaks for discussion. We can accommodate 20–30 posters, which ought to
   be enough for everyone interested. If you'd like to present a poster
   or have questions, please reach out.
   
   Thank you for your ongoing contributions to PostgreSQL, and I look
   forward to hearing from you.
   
   Best regards, Andrey Borodin.

   Hi all,
   
   Quick update: about 12 people have signed up so far, which means there
   are roughly 8 spots remaining. We would love to fill them with
   interesting technical and community posters.
   
   I have just sent a reminder email to everyone I have on my list. If you
   expressed interest but did not receive it, please check your junk folder
   and ping me directly - I likely just missed you.
   
   If your patch needs attention - reviewers, co-authors, committer
   feedback - a poster is a concrete way to get it. People stop, read,
   and talk. We plan to do Poster Session Showcase during thursday lunch,
   see full schedule here [0].
   
   Here is what makes a good poster for this session:
   
       Show the technical substance: architecture diagrams, benchmark
       results, open design questions.
   
       Make clear what kind of help or feedback you are looking for:
       "needs review", "looking for co-author", "RFC", etc.
   
       Structure it yourself - even if you use AI tools, please do not
       generate the whole thing in one prompt from a hackers thread dump.
       AI tends to produce something that looks like a movie poster.
       Your own structure will express the problem better and give
       people more to react to.
   
       Include contact info and a QR code to your patch or project page.
   
       Use the PGConf.dev 2026 logo, portrait orientation, A1 size.
   
   I will start printing in early May.
   
   Come to Vancouver, put your work on the wall, and let us discuss.
   
   
   Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
