These are all excellent points.

Regarding items 3 and 4, these are issues that relevant to the much
larger PostgreSQL community as a whole. There are resources
available for this topics:

pgsql-advocacy(at)postgresql(dot)org
lapug(at)postgresql(dot)org
There is also pg.us https://www.postgresql.us/mission

Regarding items 1, 2, 5 - 8, these are excellent topics for a LAPUG
meeting, Pgday event, PG.us conference, or PGCon. If I recall
correctly you me find presentations on these very subjects:
