POSTGRESQL ADVOCACY FUND Robert Treat has been selected by the Core Team as Treasurer for our new PostgreSQL Advocacy Fund. Robert will soon be setting up an account in the U.S. for receiving donations for the promotion of PostgreSQL. This fund will be used primarily to print promotional materials and provide travel and trade show funding, and will be managed by the PostgreSQL Advocacy team, with oversight by the core group. Once the fund is ready, we will make an announcement explaining how to donate.
NEW BANNER AD POLICY FOR POSTGRESQL.ORG You will have noticed the two banner advertisements on each PostgreSQL.org web site. The PostgreSQL Core Team has decided on a new policy whereby these ads will benefit the project and our community. One advertisement is a Sponsorship Banner Ad. It will be advertised to commercial companies who wish to reach the rather specialized target market of PostgreSQL users and developers. The revenue from this ad will be split: 50% will go into the PostgreSQL Advocacy Fund, and the other 50% will go to Hub.org to compensate hosting costs for the PostgreSQL.org domain. If you work for a computer hardware, software, or services company which might be interested in supporting PostgreSQL and reaching an audience of programmers and database administrators, please contact Hub.org about posting an ad. Details are at: http://www.postgresql.org/sponsor.html The second advertisement is a Free Open Source Banner Ad, which is available to other Open Source projects which relate to PostgreSQL in some way. For those of you who participate in other OSS projects, you are encouraged to design and submit ads for this spot. For details, see: http://www.postgresql.org/project.html ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
