Hello,
As we continue to become the dominant enterprise open source database, I
would like to see our booth presences start to reflect our PostgreSQL
*is* the database of choice nature.
In that Vein, I would like to start seeing only PostgreSQL materials at
our booths. *WAIT CONTINUE TO READ BEFORE YOU FLAME*
Usually at our booths (at least the ones that I man) we have a various
assortment of sundries including brochures (cmd included). At LW-SF last
year we had:
CMD
EDB
OTG
PostgreSQL.Org
Hyperic
Plus a couple of others.
Although many in the community pride themselves on PostgreSQL.Org's
diversity (which is a good thing), the presentation it provided was one
of general dis-organization and lack of focus.
Remember that a place like LW-SF contains lots of those people that cut
checks and make decisions.
What I would like to propose is that all materials to be displayed that
are immediately visible be PostgreSQL.Org only.
Secondly I would like to propose that we get some very nice
PostgreSQL.Org folders (blue + elephant) which would essentially be a
services directory.
A little section for Community Help, Training, Support, Consulting
etc... Each company/consultant/community member could have their own
full page flyer in the folder and *that* person's company / expense.
Otherwise we will provide the information as submitted to the
PostgreSQL.Website (one liners essentially, directory style).
Thoughts?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
