As PostgreSQL is community driven project and is not owned by any single company, people who wish to sponsor development of major features need to contact invidual developers or companies providing such services, rather than making a general posting. My company, 2ndQuadrant, has been contributing major features to PostgreSQL for 10 full years now and we aim to accelerate the growth of community development into the future. 2ndQuadrant guarantees that all sponsored developments will be contractually bound to novate copyright to the PostgreSQL Global Development Group and to release all such code under The PostgreSQL Licence. In addition, wherever possible, given community discussion, feedback and agreement the code will be submitted as patches to core PostgreSQL and we will pursue commit of those changes as well as longer term bug fixing. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
