  That's a nice Postgres you have there, would be a shame if you were to lose it

  Open source software depends on the time friends and strangers on the internet are willing to invest into it. Is the Postgres project more sustainably set up than other projects, more likely to withstand the test of time? Let's worry about that for 5 minutes.

  Your energy may vary: my ADHD discovery story

  To colleagues I seem very organized, because I overcompensate. I’ve had 35 years to find ways to deal with the challenges of ADHD, prior to my diagnosis, and to learn to ride the hyperfocus wave for the right outcomes: writing that report, rather than signing up for a tapestry course on a whim. This session is about me navigating getting the right help and also performing and maybe even thriving in my job.

  What I learned about leading a healthy project from speaking to 50+ maintainers

  I wouldn’t dare to suggest that open source is sick, but we can all do better in taking our vitamines. Collaboration between strangers is one of open source's most remarkable aspects, and we can all act as stewards for our communities. Set expectations, upgrade your onboarding, improve your contributor experience, check your dependencies, floss, and prepare to repeat all that for the long haul.

  Choose your own adventure: Open source, proprietary, self-hosted or managed

  While of course “it depends” I want to try and convince you that managed can be the best of both worlds when you choose the right partner.

  SOS: Sustainable Open Source

  Free and Open Source Software is eating the world, but is at the same time a victim of its own success. We need better support systems to avoid maintainer burnout, and to avoid regressions from creeping into our systems. How?
