Please excuse me if my posting is off-topic, but this is at least closely related to this email thread.

I looked at those lists, but it seems you need to be "someone" to get your quote or comment included, which would not allow me to post anything, as a small company. I have created an open source project that uses PostgreSQL as its database, and I think this qualifies as a "case study", or as "supporting PostgreSQL", more concrete than writing an email of thanks. But I am thankful, and also I'd like to put something back, in the form of my oopen source, which I'd like to advertise somehow to the PostgreSQL users. I joined the psql-announce list, and tried to email them, but my posting got filtered out and discarded. I emailed the owner, but got no reply. How do I advertise my project which uses PostgreSQL ? > > Cheers, > Steve > > Mary Anderson wrote: >> >> Me too. we have been using PostreSQL for three years now in the >> demography department at UC Berkeley.
