Hi everyone, Yes, this is us. (Sorry I've been inactive the last week. I was on vacation.) What follows is a strictly personal set of remarks. I don't speak for Afilias, Liberty RMS, PIR, or ISOC. I'm just some guy. They don't even like me. ;-) I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone in the PostgreSQL community for the help they've offered, and for the fantastic software. When I ask for help, the support I get is just tremendous, both for marketing efforts and for general Postgres operation questions I have. This is a remarkable victory for PostgreSQL, by the way. As you can see if you check out the public forums and the various, publicly posted remarks by various bidders (everything I know about in the bidding is posted on the ICANN site), people were "gunning" for PostgreSQL. There were many suggestions that PostgreSQL wasn't up to the job. The Gartner Group, despite their natural tendency to be suspicious of a thing "nobody else" is using, concluded that PostgreSQL was not too big a risk. That may sound like damning with faint praise, when we all know that PostgreSQL can indeed handle this sort of task. But even such a hesitant endorsement from someone like Gartner means that PostgreSQL is now regarded by the usual commercial suspects as a "real" system. I can't believe that's a bad thing. I should note that we have had tremendous help from Geoff Davidson and the rest of the crew at PostgreSQL, Inc., and that Justic Clift has been totally indefatiguable in finding clever ways of promoting PostgreSQL. Thanks, guys. I am very hopeful that this provides Liberty and Afilias with an opportunity to make additional contributions to PostgreSQL. Naturally, though, I don't know anything. I'll keep lobbying. I'm very proud to be associated with this development in PostgreSQL's history. It's only possible because of the PostgreSQL community: the tireless efforts of the contributors, and the astounding support that participants on lists like these give one another. Thank you.
