From: "Jonathan S. Katz"
+ This is a high level report of the activities of the + PostgreSQL Core Team during the period of June + 2019 to December 2021. While we aim for full transparency, some activities + may be kept confidential for privacy and other reasons. +
+ +Creation of a Contributors Committee
++ The Contributors Committee was set up to create guidelines for how to + measure contributions to the PostgreSQL Project. Periodically, this + committee evaluates contributor status in the community and recognizes new + contributors and major contributors to the project. +
+Recognized PostgreSQL User Group (PUG) Guidelines
++ The Recognized PostgreSQL User Group (PUG) guidelines + were established to provide a framework for creating a consistent local + user group experience for PostgreSQL meetups. These guidelines were also + incorporated into the revised + PostgreSQL Trademark Policy. +
+Revised Trademark Policy
++ The Core Team has previously delegated management of the PostgreSQL + trademarks to the PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada + (PGCAC). Through the advice of legal counsel, the PostgreSQL Core Team + accepted revisions to the PostgreSQL Trademark Policy. + The Core Team worked with PGCAC to ensure the trademark policy would + continue to be fair and open while providing additional protections to the + PostgreSQL trademarks. +
+Planet PostgreSQL Policy Revisions
++ Planet PostgreSQL provides a + means for people to syndicate blogs on topics around PostgreSQL. The + Planet PostgreSQL moderation team proposed + revisions to the policy to + allow for blogs to contain video content under certain conditions. After + some discussion, the Core Team chose to accept the policy revisions. +
+Revisions to Community Conference Guidelines
++ The Community Conference guidelines + provide a framework for creating a consistent experience across PostgreSQL + conferences. After several years of events following the initial + guidelines, the Core Team incorporated feedback from the events and, + working with several conference organizers, amended the guidelines. + Changes include guidelines around the organizing committee and specific + requirements around the use of a code of conduct. +
+Trademark Dispute
++ The PostgreSQL Core Team, working with the + PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada + and PostgreSQL Europe, have been + engaged in a trademark dispute with a 3rd party organization. The Core + Team published a summary of the dispute. + This matter is still ongoing at the time of this report. +
+Code of Conduct and Code of Conduct Committee
++ The PostgreSQL Core Team accepted several changes to the + Code of Conduct, particularly around + committee selection and transition. +
+New Core Team Members
++ The PostgreSQL Core Team welcomed Andres + Freund and Jonathan Katz to the Core Team. +
+Revisions to Committers
++ Following the guidance of existing PostgreSQL Committers, + the PostgreSQL Core Team welcomed several new committers to the Project, + including: +
++ Due to inactivity within the project, the Core Team also revoked the commit + bits from several previous committers. +
