Re: [GENERAL] Are we losing momentum?

Hi everyone,

As an additional point of interest, we're still processing all of the
Case Study submissions received from the last call around February, and
should be beginning translations within the next week or two.

There is a lot of very good news contained in the submissions, and they
will definitely assist in bringing into the open just how good a
database system and Community we truly have.

Hope everyone will be as amazed as I was at just where PostgreSQL is
being used already. There are some very clued-in people out there.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
