No, he isn't. I think that Stonebraker appeared at a few events that were hosted by EDB, but to the best of my knowledge that's the extent of his involvement in the project after university POSTGRES. I've personally never met the man, or communicated with him online, and I've worked on Postgres more or less full time for a full decade now. As far as I'm aware he hasn't ever publicly posting to any of the mailing lists. -- Peter Geoghegan
