Never underestimate how much you can do just by being a part of your local 
community.  I'm giving a quick session tonight here in Denver to compare 
MySQL, Postgresql and Firebird.  

While I personally prefer Postgresql there are some things MySQL is 
particularly suited to as well, and some things that firebird is suited to 
as well.

A fair and valid comparison of their features is a useful way of "selling" 
Postgresql to the people who need it.
