Josh,

I'd agree we need to cut down on the variety of paper stuff. "Less is
more". Sticking to .ORG-only stuff would do that.

I'd suggest:
1-page general information sheet
"PostgreSQL for Executives" brochure ala Fujitsu
1-page B&W flyer about some current/related information
(e.g. about 8.3 when we release it, listing PostgreSQL talks at OSCON,
etc.)

I'm going to suggest another requirement: the listed company must be a
PostgreSQL project contributor. That is, they must have/be donating code,
money or resources to the project, our NGOs and/or our conferences.

I think we have enough companies actually supporting the project that we
don't need to help promote those which don't.
