Members of pgsql advocacy,
I just joined Command Prompt, I’d like to introduce myself and offer my
services to the group. I have mostly been in sales, business
development, and marketing roles in my past lives. I am technical in
that I was an engineer, once, but a mere featherweight compared to most
of the members of this group.
I am new to posting on forums so please forgive me and periodically tap
me on the shoulder as I stumble my way through this. I am however no
stranger to software, databases, applications and development tools
having been in the software industry for over 17 years now (and having
“done time” at Oracle, Rational Pure-Atria, and Andersen Consulting).
Seems I am a bit late to get into the action here for this press
release, but I do have some suggestions for the About PostgreSQL
paragraphs that I would like to share with the group for possible future
use (see below).
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if there are issues / projects
where I can provide input and value. I will try to chime in periodically
as I get myself settled here at Command Prompt.
I look forward to meeting you all at the next major pizza and beer bash
… and we’ll bill it all to Joshua ;-)
