A PostgreSQL database developer is someone who is actually working on the project, not someone using it to develop an application or a website. We don't hire programmers, we reach across the Internet, drawing the best database developers in the world to PostgreSQL. Read about the people behind PostgreSQL and check out the group picture.
The information available in this section will mainly interest PostgreSQL developers. Here you'll find the roadmap with current TODO list、coding and testing information, CommitFests、mailing lists, and the developer FAQ. Keep in mind the information available here is not necessarily available in the release version of PostgreSQL - it may not yet even be in the development version.
A few resources to help you get involved in PostgreSQL development are:
CommitFest is a period during the PostgreSQL feature development where committers and contributors focus on reviewing、testing, and getting patches committed. Patches are registered in the CommitFest application for PostgreSQL developers to track their status.
A major release cycle usually has five CommitFests: July, September, November, January, and March. The March CommitFest is followed by feature freeze and the Beta period. A "CommitFest Manager" maintains the process and manages the patch list.
Anyone can participate in a CommitFest. Submit a patch, volunteer to review patches, or help manage a CommitFest once you have some experience in the community.
The PostgreSQL Project is a proud participant in Google's Summer of Code program. If you are interested in working on a PostgreSQL related project, please check out our Summer of Code page.
