Hi Grant!

Again, events organized by companies do not qualify for the community license. In addition, the employees involved are carrying this out as part of their paid work.

I am sorry, but
our rules are clear and we adhere to them to remain consistent and fair to everyone, as well as to support a sustainable business.

Grant Zhou has submitted the community request from for HOW2026 event.

Link: https://ivorysql.io
Mode: Event

Attendance: Anyone (open to the public)
Standard ticket price: 0 USD
Organizers: A company or corporation
Organizers getting paid: Not directly, it’s part of their regular job responsibilities
Profitable: No, the organizers cover the costs to keep it running
Comments: Highgo Software is the main sponsor of the event, covering all costs. However, it’s an open-source community event for the PostgreSQL and IvorySQL projects, and it’s a non-profit open-source promotion event. In the future, the event will be organized by the community itself, with sponsors from various companies.

Signed by: Grant Zhou
