Yes, and I am going to start working on advocacy this week. If you are
interested in sharing your experience of PostgreSQL with others, please
subscribe to the advocacy mailing list. Some items I want to focus on
are:

quotations
company users
beef up developers list, add companies
success stories
BSD license
funding
non-technical papers
phone/email/visit potential PostgreSQL sites
