It's not entirely clear to me. I did ask privately ask Josh Drake whether this was being done by PostgreSQL or by individuals in the PostgreSQL community, and whether this meant that PostgreSQL was pulling out of SPI. He did answer, but the meaning of much of his answer was unclear to a PostgreSQL outsider like me. (It might be quite clear to an insider; this is not an accusation of evasiveness.) I will say that I gave best wishes to him and the new association in accomplishing their goals and helping PostgreSQL, whether or not they work in addition to SPI or instead of it, and told him that I have no vested interest in projects remaining associated with SPI against their will. Josh, care to give a more clear answer publicly on this list to both of those questions? Remember that many people on this list don't know the difference between PostgreSQL.Org, the notion of a PostgreSQL.Org project, Core, the PostgreSQL Fundraising Group, PostgreSQL as a whole, PostgreSQL Global Development Group, and your positions in or relationships with all of the above. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
