Background to present/questions to be answered: What is the difference between a contributor and a committer? What are the differences and collaboration between the U.S. PostgreSQL Association, PostgreSQL Europe, and the PostgreSQL Global Development Group? Where can I find PostgreSQL resources? How can I be involved? Challenges exist in our community in in on-boarding new members whether as advocates or contributors. These challenges can be addressed by creating inclusive content and diverse opportunities for users and developers at experience levels and skill sets. There are many ways to contribute to open source beyond contributing code or technical documentation – project managers, advocates, users all play an integral role in unified open source communities.An open source software or platform is only as strong as the community and companies that support it.
