I just want to say something on that topic!!
Maybe somebody is working some certification exams or standard training
courses out for postgresql
admin,programmer,pl/pgsql ....
There are many certifications but I'm thinking of a worldwide standard
certification like oracle has in the academy
This exams are given to some "certified" companies that they can give
this exam/course whatever
and maybe 10% of the certification cost goes directly in some fund that
is sponsoring postgresql development.
so much can be achieved.
Or to make it real heavy. Creating an organisation like
http://www.spi-inc.org/ is for debian but only for postgresql development.
I'm thinking of this for a while.
The important thing in this matter is a worldwide aceptable
certification that is recognized by the whoile community/business!!
