Re: [GENERAL] Contents of greatbridge.com?
No one has mentioned it so far, but I wonder if any of the Great Bridge people were hired by Red Hat? The reason it hasn't been mentioned is that negotiations are still in play. I believe I can safely say that RH hasn't hired any ex-GB people yet ... but I doubt that will hold true for long ... regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

I would imagine that it would slow down the development a bit until things settle down. However, I saw that Tom and Bruce have been making changes to the CVS in preparation for release 7.2 so I would not be concerned. Also, keep in mind that Red Hat has a large stake in PostgreSQL now so I would imagine that they will contribute more now than they did in the past. No one has mentioned it so far, but I wonder if any of the Great Bridge people were hired by Red Hat? They were interested in buying Great Bridge in the past. It would seem logical that they would try. Uhh, Tom and I are still on severance so we have some time to kill. :-) We also don't feel we have to spend too much time looking for new employment, if you know what I mean. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup.| Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html

You must be new here 'cuze this has been covered many times in the last few weeks. PostgreSQL is not now, nor has it ever been a product or property of Great Bridge. PostgreSQL, Inc has been around longer than Great Bridge and is still running just fine. In fact there's currently nine companies listed on the PostgreSQL website that do the exact same thing as GB, among them is PostgreSQL, Inc, and RedHat. The projects website is, or is about to be available at http://gborg.postgresql.org So to answer your question about what the future is for PostgreSQL? Just as bright as ever. Vince.
