We're going to have a "company contributors" page on the new web site. There
was a long discussion about it on this list. The new web site is not yet up,
and then it will take some time to assemble that page. Please be patient.

I'm not clear: why don't you have company links at openfts.sourceforge.net?
Aren't you missing something there?

Also, please DO NOT become a press contact to promote your company. This is
the wrong reason to be a Regional Contact. To quote the e-mail I sent all
of the regional contacts, earlier this week:

======================================
Your @postgresql.org address is intended strictly for use when doing volunteer
advocacy for PostgreSQL.org.   It is NOT intended for a general mailbox or
business address; remember, it may be assigned to someone else at any time
which you are unable to volunteer.
        This can particularly be a challenge for consultants.   My rule is, if
you're answering queries from @postgresql.org, you can recommend your own
business for consulting ... but you MUST mention other appropriate
consultants in the area as well.   Nor should you take referral fees for
business referred through your @postgresql.org address.  (Sorry if this seems
pedantic, but there have already been some misunderstandings.)
======================================

The purpose of volunteering as a regional contact is to promote PostgreSQL to
the press and the public, not to promote yourself or your own business. This
goes for everyone.
