How the PostgreSQL Project works

The PostgreSQL project is a global effort with hundreds of contributors from dozens of countries and companies. This talk will examine how the project is organised, and how it differs from 'the other Open Source DBMS'. The development process will be examined, along with the life cycle of a typical patch, from initial idea to inclusion in a release.
