[HACKERS] FYI: Fujitsu

2005-08-02 Thread Neil Conway
For the past 11 months or so[1], I've been working full-time on 
PostgreSQL as an employee of Fujitsu Australia Software Technology. I'm 
grateful to Fujitsu for giving me this opportunity, and I've enjoyed the 
past year. However, I'm returning to university in the fall, and 
therefore I will no longer be working full-time for Fujitsu.


Also, I'll be on vacation and pretty inactive for most of August -- I'll 
only be reading lists sporadically, so please CC me on anything you'd 
like my input on. The only pending bit of work I want to get into the 
tree for 8.1 is the RAISE patch for pl/pgsql (user exceptions), which 
I should have finished shortly.

Cool!  I hope you have fun while you're over here!
Out of interest, do you have free reign to code whatever you want, or do 
you have a specific set of things to do for Fujitsu?  Also, will you be 
working on the open source server, or Fujitsu proprietary extensions?

Cheers,
Chris

Congratulations. It's nice to hear that Fujitsu keeps supporting 
Postgres. Hopefully other companies can follow suit :-)

It seems commercial companies are more keen to support BSD-ish free 
software (Apache, Postgres, Perl, Ruby, etc.)? With the exception of 
Linux of course.

I'll be working on a bit of everything; my initial focus will be on new 
feature development for 8.1
