We will have several women not only in attendance and speaking at
PostgresConf US 2018 next week, but also the majority of our volunteer base

foster more interest and growth in Postgres community as a whole and at
large.

I'm active on Twitter as @snax and manage FB page and groups. I can support
as an admin/publisher/moderator as you need.
