Re: What we need to do

I don't think there's enough content under the heading of women-focused
Postgres stuff to keep this thing going without branching out some. As
far as Twitter/social media goes, @postgresmen seem like a decent
reference point: they publish general news, showcase interesting
projects and useful tools, boost on-topic blog posts, and so forth.
Doing that with an eye toward emphasizing and advancing the work women
do on+with Postgres and developing a supportive community would be awesome.

I'm starting a new job next week and preparing a talk for NDC Oslo so
unfortunately I don't have the spare time to volunteer for anything else
at the moment, but thanks Lætitia & Louise for getting this rolling!
