O.k. this is bizarre. One, this discussion belongs on -advocacy not
-general.
Two, you do realize that we have huge mind share right?

Oh you mean like a good portion of the largest entities in the world
already do?
Not to be sarcastic but it sounds to me like your boss isn't paying
attention.
I spent Tuesday at one of the largest companies in the world discussion
how we can deploy PostgreSQL enterprise wide.
I spent the week before that teaching a class for a global 2000 that is
about to deploy postgresql (in the next 2 years) to over 5000 installations.
I will spent a week on the east coast doing the same thing for another
division of said company.
We regularly support a company that has over 4000 installations in Europe.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
