Hi advocacy folks,
I'm very pleased to announce the release of the demo version of the
so-called "PostgreSQL Magazine".
This issue #00 is brought to you thanks to the collective work of a
dozen of people. In particular : Greg Smith, Frank Wiles, Hubert
Lubaczewski, Jim Mlodgenski, Matt Tescher, Josh Berkus , Alvarro
Herrera, Thom Brown, Greg Smith, Raymond O'Donnell, Ian Bailey-Leung,
Osvaldo Tulini, Sivakumar Krishnamurthy, Evan Bennett and Belvedere
Editorial
Kudos to them !
The magazine is available in both online and paper versions.
You can either :
* Read it Online: http://pgmag.org/00/read
* Buy the Print Edition: http://pgmag.org/00/buy
* or Download the PDF: http://pgmag.org/00/download
If you are currently at pgcon in ottawa, keep your eyes open ! A few
print copies should be spread by Josh Berkus and Jehan-Guillaume de
Rorthais :-)
Please consider this first issue as a "beta". Our goal is to get
feedback and see if there's a public for such a magazine.
So if you've read the magazine and have some time to write an e-mail,
we'd love to know what you think of this first attempt. More precisely,
let us know :
* If you would buy such a magazine on a regular basis ?
* If you would recommend it to your friends or colleagues ?
* If you would offer it to your clients as advocacy material ?
* If you would write or help the magazine in any way ?
* If you would be ok to see advertisement in the magazine ?
* If you would like to have more pages in it ?
* etc.
Please send your comments, suggestions and critics at contact@pgmag.org.
A global recap of all the feedbacks will be published on
http://www.pgmag.org in a few days.
Once again i'd like to tell my most sincere thanks to all the people
involved in this project !
And to you, future readers of PostgreSQL Magazine : Enjoy ! ;-)
