Open Source Comes From People

I recently attended my first PG Data 2026 conference where keynote speaker Robert Haas delivered a talk that has stayed with me. His keynote focused on the people behind PostgreSQL, the growing challenges of sustaining open-source communities, and the urgent need to cultivate new contributors through mentorship and community engagement. While his remarks centered on PostgreSQL, they sparked broader reflections for me about the future of open source and communities like Django.
