Folks,
Currently our approval policy says this:
From: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/NewsEventsApproval
"The following types of news will be approved:
* Brand new products/projects/services which support or center around
PostgreSQL"
Under this policy, the new 2ndQuadrant support option was approved as a
news announcement. Thing is, I don't think that kind of announcement
belongs on the postgresql.org home page. When I wrote that text, what I
personally meant by "services" was stuff like PAAS, not a support
service. I'm also concerned that the 2Q announcement will kick off an
arms race of similar announcements. I know I'll submit one for PGX if
we don't change the policy.
I'd like to change the policy to:
* Brand new products, projects, companies hosting services, or cloud
services which support or center around PostgreSQL.
The idea is that I think we want announcements like Gandi's PAAS on the
home page, or StormDB launching, but not announcements like PGX
introducing new emergency services.
