My Notes

  • Should RFCs be promoted externally?
  • Office hours this week?
  • Cloud security
    • Hidden FAQ on pricing page?

Meeting Notes

  • Ask Victor about branching RFC Todo
  • Ask for status on Cloud at-rest encryption Todo
    • This is on the backlog and doesn’t seem to be in progress
  • Hackathon
    • Vision Pro as a giveaway
    • celebrity judges
    • cool landing page
    • define rules
      • Yury needs help with this
    • who can promote?
    • support from EdgeDB staff to build community
      • dedicated Discord channel?
      • engage on Twitter
    • Showcase projects
    • Lower entry barrier
      • Can be a toy app
      • Memes are OK
      • Must be on GitHub with fully open source license and use EdgeDB
  • Web site
    • One thing that resonates: when we make a connection to SQL
    • Blog post about doing better than SQL has been shared on HN multiple times
    • Position EdgeDB as SQL 2.0
    • Bold marketing statement that EdgeDB is what a relational database should be like
    • Don’t use graph-relational
    • Yury made a mock-up of a new iteration on Figma
    • What is call to action?
      • Take them straight to log in with Cloud
        • Seems like a big step to take for the first step, and it’s unexpected. Email capture is more common.
    • Tagline is adversarial, not user-centric
  • Nuxt blog post go live when they can retweet

Priorities

  1. Hackathon (may be on hold for free tier since users will not want to subscribe to participate)
