<fixed><bigger>hi Bruce


My name is Luis Forte, live in Lisbon, Portugal, and work at PTelecom,

a telecom operator in this country (the largest operator, but that's

just a minor fact).

I'm the technical manager at one of our call-centers. We operate with

Oracle, though at least one of the components of the Telecom
Inteligent

Network (IN) use Postgres.

Out of job I work with, and prefer, Postgres. Some years ago I used

Mysql, but Postgres maturity fascinated me two years ago: I've been

using it, and love it.

I'd like to help:

by marketing the software, translating if necessary or any other kind

of support.

I'll be pleased to help !

have some Portugese

support material.  I think it is listed on the web site.


I will CC this message to our advocacy list in case they have some

ideas.

Can we coordinate a case study of how and why PTelecom uses postgresql,

especially contrasted with it's use of oracle?


If you'd like to do some legwork, the standard things to translate

include back end files, FAQ, and advocacy website. I think those might

all be covered but if you find one that isn't or needs updating then

please jump in.  After that I usually suggest helping translate pgAdmin

and phpPgAdmin, though I think they both might already have Portuguese

covered.
