                  PostgreSQL folks!

We are looking for the next big thing. Actually, it's a bit smaller:
a
new design for mugs. So far we had big blue elephants, small blue
elephants, frosty elephants, white SQL code on black mugs ... Now
it's
time to design something new.

What's in for you? Fame, of course - we will announce the designer of
the next mug along with the mugs itself. Plus 4 mugs for you and your
friends.

Do you have a cool idea? Please let us know. Either reply here or
send
an email to pgeu-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

                A big yellow elephant? Perhaps with a nice smile?.... Oh it's already
taken ;)

                  Thanks,

              A big elephant, and 2 smaller elephants.
A big elephant, and lots of increasingly smaller elephants.
A Mummy & Daddy elephants, with baby elephants.

To represent that PostgreSQL now replicates?

            If it represents that PostgreSQL replicates, the elephants must be of
the same size.  We don't loose any data.

But I like the idea.  With replication as the motto, we can sell two
mugs instead of one...

          well - these days we can actually do cascading replication. which opens
up even more possibilities..

        So it needs a design which combines more than one mug into some kind of
artwork? That would be awesome - who can design this?

And for the family of elephants - how can we make sure it's not similar
to what we used before?

      someone beat you to it:

I would envision mugs all the same size.  

        How about a stylized elephant shaped mug? I was inspired
                by the Toby Jug my maternal
                    grandmother had in England (see http://www.tobyjug.collecting.org.uk)
