<P>PostgreSQL has had a first-class infrastructure since we started |
|
|
|
|
in 1996. This is all thanks to Marc Fournier, who has created |
|
|
|
|
and managed this infrastructure over the years.</P> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Quality infrastructure is very important to an open-source |
|
|
|
|
project. It prevents disruptions that can greatly delay forward |
|
|
|
|
movement of the project.</P> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Of course, this infrastructure is not cheap. There are a variety |
|
|
|
|
of monthly and one-time expenses that are required to keep it |
|
|
|
|
going. If you or your company has money it can donate to help fund |
|
|
|
|
this effort, please go to <A href="http://store.pgsql.com/shopping/">http://store.pgsql.com/shopping/</A> |
|
|
|
|
and make a donation.</P> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Although the web page mentions PostgreSQL, Inc, the |
|
|
|
|
"contributions" item is solely to support the PostgreSQL project |
|
|
|
|
and does not fund any specific company. If you prefer, you can also |
|
|
|
|
send a check to the contact address.</P> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Also, if you have a success story about PostgreSQL, please email |
|
|
|
|
it to our advocacy list at <a href="mailto:pgsql-advocacy@postgresql.org"> |
|
|
|
