Thanks for the info! :)  As it happens I'm already subscribed to the
advocacy list, but I forgot it was there.  I'm looking to become less
of a passive end-user and more of an active community member, possibly
making contributions where I can.  I've already made a start on that
by contacting the Joomla community to get my extensive code changes to
the Joomla codebase tested and reviewed which prepares it for multi-DB
support (as opposed to the MySQL-only option at the momenet),
including the Postgres hander I added (which looks to all be working
fine for the most part).

Well I'll see how things go after the conference.
