On a serious note, I have 3 questions: 1) is it ok if Core Team dictates the definition of Community and where communication happens 2) can we continue chatting, twitting, zooming, youtubing -- and still be considered as part of

@PostgreSQL

Community? 3) what is Community?

> In the spirit of the open source movement …look no further than the discussions on our mailing lists (from postgresql.org/about/news/tra) That's it guys. We must stop using Twitter right now. Unfollow me. For @PostgreSQL topics, use only email if you want to be inside "community"

I had a really good time on Postgres TV. I enjoyed the recent Franck Pachot episode among others. I hope that there are more episodes in the future. What do the core team have to do with it, though? What accommodation should the core team (or somebody else) make?

I like to think that spaces which respect the PG CoC, the community guidelines, and the core team, with moderators to address any issues, are the ones to list on .Org. Such policies can be added to/improved on, of course, and I’ve had succes doing so working with core.

Seems reasonable to me. I was just asking

@samokhvalov

why he felt that the core team was against things like YouTube channels. I imagine that they didn't address it because it isn't on their radar. Is that not the case?

I couldn’t say with personal insight (not on core), but I would say that core has been quite receptive when asked and when folks have been willing to openly work with them. I’d encourage youtube channel operators to work with core to define a policy and choose moderators.
