The good news - the PostgreSQL community has grown, and we have many more events that we as a community are either hosting or taking part of.
However, we currently only show the next 3 upcoming events on the main
www.postgresql.org homepage. I think this significantly limits the visibility of upcoming events and could take away a significant marketing opportunity to showcase and support our various community events.
Here are a couple of suggestions:
1. We list >= 5 events on the homepage instead of 3.)
#1 is a small patch that many people (including myself) could handle at a moment's notice. The argument could be made "Well now we display X events now but what if we need to show Y?" - yes I agree with this, but I think we should display a few more now and work on something longer term, i.e...
#2, which is a little bit more work but could open up some new opportunities that we could use the home page for in the future. We could have a section highlighting "featured" events in the community that could persist on the homepage and continue to keep our regular upcoming events list.
I realize #2 would require both some policy change and some design considerations, which is why I would push to enact #1 and set it to 5.
Thoughts?
