Fwd: First article in France about PostgreSQL v8

Salut à tous,

Je vous transmets ci-dessous un mail que je viens d'envoyer à la liste
advocacy, mais que je n'ai pas le temps de traduire.

J'ai parlé de l'association qui est en train de naître et le
journaliste la mentionne. En route vers la gloire :-)

Et s'il y en a parmi vous qui ont des idées concernant ma question sur
les ERP, CRM, CMS et autres, vos contributions sont les bienvenues.

A part ça, pour info, la date de sortie officielle de la v8 est
annoncée pour mercredi, mais c'est encore à confirmer.

A+

François
