A couple questions about the North America support page
on postgresql.org.

* Is there any reason why Sun is not on the North America support
page [1]. It seems from the Nov 2005 press release [2] that
they do provide support. Did they stop doing this? If they
still do, can we ask someone from Sun to get themselves added
to this page.

* Fujitsu is listed in the Oceania page [3] and Asia page [5].
Considering their large international presence -- they alone
almost certainly have a bigger IT support staff in North
America than all the organizations listed on the North
America page[1] -- would it be reasonable to list them
on all the continent's support pages?

* Does Red Hat or any of the other big Linux distributors
provide postgresql support in North America? Could
they be added to the North America support page[1]?

I ask mainly because if your average CxO reads the
current North America support page he probably won't
recognize anyone there. I realize the page just gets
populated by companies who submit themselves using the
from [4] - but it seems it'd make postgresql quite a bit
more impressive to naive customers if they saw that support
is available in North America from some of the big companies.
If people agree, could someone from advocacy try to round up
some of those big companies to submit themselves.
