Hi Robert

Thanks for your note of welcome. I agree that an alternate and a good
first start is to potentially get a column in their Enterprise Open
Source magazine. Happy to pursue it.

Bob

IMHO, there are sufficient writers in the community to do the job.

If you encounter a tepid response may I suggest that you argue for a
PostgreSQL column in one or more of their current publications. Thus
allowing the publisher to get their feet wet without feeling they've
commited into something they can't handle.

I myself will be curious to hear the outcome. The ball is in your court
