introduction

Hi all,

I've just subscribed to this mailing list, so I thought it would be nice to
introduce myself.
I'm Bert Desmet, and I currently live in Belgium.
I work for Deloitte, where we are building a cloud BI platform. As a
database for the datawarehouses we use PostgreSQL since a few months.
Before that time we were using db2. Next to THE dba (yes, it's only for the
moment), I'm also playing with the linux servers, and I do code a bit.
Mostly in Python or bash.

I used to do community work for the fedora project, but since I changed
from a contributor to a normal user I decided to pick up a new challenge:
coding.
Since I use postgres every day this is also the product I want to code on.
But I realise every begin is difficult. I can't just dive into a big
project like postgres.

So I'll just monitor the mailing list a bit, pick some patches and test
them. I think this is the best way to learn to know the code, and is
probably helpful for everyone?

anyway, I hope I can grow to become a valuable contributor. But that won't
happen overnight! :-)

cheers,
Bert
