Hi all,
Quick update: about 12 people have signed up so far, which means there
are roughly 8 spots remaining. We would love to fill them with
interesting technical and community posters.
I have just sent a reminder email to everyone I have on my list. If you
expressed interest but did not receive it, please check your junk folder
and ping me directly - I likely just missed you.
If your patch needs attention - reviewers, co-authors, committer
feedback - a poster is a concrete way to get it. People stop, read,
and talk. We plan to do Poster Session Showcase during thursday lunch,
see full schedule here [0].
Here is what makes a good poster for this session:
Show the technical substance: architecture diagrams, benchmark
results, open design questions.
Make clear what kind of help or feedback you are looking for:
"needs review", "looking for co-author", "RFC", etc.
Structure it yourself - even if you use AI tools, please do not
generate the whole thing in one prompt from a hackers thread dump.
AI tends to produce something that looks like a movie poster.
Your own structure will express the problem better and give
people more to react to.
Include contact info and a QR code to your patch or project page.
Use the PGConf.dev 2026 logo, portrait orientation, A1 size.
I will start printing in early May.
Come to Vancouver, put your work on the wall, and let us discuss.
Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
