Hi Dian,

I don't think there's enough content under the heading of women-focused Postgres stuff to keep this thing going without branching out some. As far as Twitter/social media goes, @postgresmen seem like a decent reference point: they publish general news, showcase interesting projects and useful tools, boost on-topic blog posts, and so forth. Doing that with an eye toward emphasizing and advancing the work women do on+with Postgres and developing a supportive community would be awesome.

I might be wrong but I think Postgresmen = is related to a russian postgres meetup so their followers are interested i= n tech news whereas our purpuse is quite different. But maybe I'm wrong= ...
