Sarah Conway
Owns Talk to Me About Tech, a DevRel agency.
Working group manager @ the DevRel foundation.
Head of DevRel @ Data Bene.
PostgreSQL course creator @ LinkedIn Learning.
Musician of 20+ years.
Owns & runs a rabbit rescue (Two Rabbit Rescue).
Sarah Conway boosted:
If you’re interested in rabbit fostering and are located in #SouthernCalifornia, we urgently need your help!
#Rabbit abandonment, surrendering, & hoarding / overbreeding cases are at a high and we’re getting requests to help almost on a daily.
We provide full support once you’re approved, and will transport the rabbit(s) to you, provide all supplies necessary and training information to help with any behavioral issues, and pay for gas & medical appointments.
@tchorix & I are presenting on data modeling within #PostgreSQL in a storytelling fashion at @posetteconf, a free virtual event hosted by #Microsoft that's all about #Postgres this June 10-12!
Want to tune in? Add the livestream to your calendar, or register (optionally) here: https://posetteconf.com/2025/talks/postgres-storytelling-cunning-schema-design-with-creative-data-modeling/ (or, wait until the recording is out after the event!)
Illustrations will be completed by Scarlett Riggs, who we are very excited to be working with.
This talk should be great for anyone that's looking to understand things from the perspectives of an application developer, and a seasoned database administrator; here, you'll be able to learn when it is best to handle logic within the database vs. the application!
Looking forward to seeing you there 📽️

Sarah Conway boosted:
The black-and-white bunny, Gracie, is 2 years old, and the gold bunny Goldie is 3 years old. They are not related but are bonded, and we will not be separating them.
They’ll come near you but currently don’t like being touched. Our rabbit nonprofit will help with training them to be more comfortable with touch and interactions, along with anything else they might need help with.
Sarah Conway boosted:
The crazy time for rabbits being abandoned has hit us! We have several bunnies in urgent need of foster care. These two are female bonded bunnies that have only ever been outdoors, and will need a fully indoor foster along with socialization training.

Went to the first technology conference I've been to since 2019 and the experience did not disappoint!!
Many thanks to the organizers of #SCaLE22x for creating a lovely conference experience as always. It is one of my favorite #OpenSource events, although I'm biased at least a little given it was my first introduction to the #tech community 14 years ago.
If you haven't been, it's a great community & open source focused event with a very diverse group of attendees, wide range of talks and a packed expo hall.
To all the folks I was able to visit, meet, or connect with during the event: I loved it! Thank you for making the time! And I hope to see you again - & continue building connections - very soon as I look at increasing event participation over the next year.
Special thanks to @dbeaver_news for my very cool (and unfortunately not permanent) tattoo. I wore it with pride. ❤️
(Yes, I did re-dye my hair just for the event. It was a good excuse to 🙌)
Sarah Conway boosted:
All done! Mobile "studio" packed in bags and ready to go. My immense gratitude to @socallinuxexpo who kindly allowed the use of their space for filming and to my lovely guests Henrietta Dombrovskaya, Mark Wong, Gülçin Yıldırım Jelínek, @talktomeabouttech and the briefest of cameos by @devrimgunduz. Our live chats from #SCaLE22x can be found in this YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn5-f7ZCYX7vGldSTaxPGalc-v1EbGmLV
Sarah Conway boosted:
Going 🔴 LIVE at 12:20 PT (21:20 CET) from SCaLE 22x

@ascherbaum @data_bene TBD!! ☕ ☕ but I recommend keeping an ear out...
@catsalad Do I have to have just *one* favorite #sticker??? Honestly though, my top 2 definitely include the "Eat. Hack. Sleep. Repeat." sticker from Hackaday.io - I picked up a dozen or so at a #SCaLE conference some years ago and they've been on every laptop since. I'm also a huge fan of the @eff stickers like "illegal spying is illegal" ;-)
A great read for anyone who isn't sure about what value #DevRel really has at an organization.
