Hi guys, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I'm the PostgreSQL Business Intelligence Analyst at SRA America, http://sra= apowergres.com. We're an opensource service and support company for Postgre= SQL and the BSDs. As you know, much of the commercial activity going on with FreeBSD and post= gres, when compared to the likes of Linux and MySQL, is just simply not on = the business awareness radar. To that end we're trying to rememdy this by n= etworking with usergroups, such as nycbug.org, and participating on various= mail-lists. We're also working with a number of FreeBSD advocates that inc= ludes the likes of Dru Lavigne, communities (postgresql.org) and opensource= initiatives (bsdcertification.org) to create standards compliant coursewar= e. We've tied postgres and bsd together for two simple reasons: 1. More than a few of the postgres community (especially CORE) are BSD user= s. 2. The BSD community is mature with top developers but has a very small bus= iness support/marketing infrastructure. These grass roots projects have a common heritage that by their very nature= precludes domination by any one corporation. I'd like to think that I'm no= t the only one when I say that all I want to do is earn money by doing what= I enjoy.
