Write the contribution in one box, in plain text or Markdown, and send it. If you would like us to be able to come back to you with a question, there is an optional line for your name and email address.</p> <p>Many contributions to and for the PostgreSQL Project happen outside of writing code: talks, meetups, translations, patch reviews, mentoring, advocacy, documentation, event organisation. If you know of one, whether it is yours or somebody else's, we would like to hear about it.</p> <p>Nothing is published automatically. Everything that comes in gets read by one of us first.
