Hello,

As most of you probably know, we (PostgreSQL) were at LinuxWorld Boston
this past week. The show although small, was very positive. We received
alot of traffic and very specific pointed questions.

This is the first show that I have been to where people were actually
using PostgreSQL for their business. (OSCON was always about development).

We had several people looking for DW and BI which Greenplum was a nice
addition, plus a couple that were using OpenExchange.

We were approached by several major corps including Unisys, Hitachi and
AMD. Personally I also performed a talk at the Intel booth about
PostgreSQL which seemed to go over well.

The booth went off without a hitch and we had several community members
there.

Thanks everyone for helping us make the PostgreSQL booth the best OSS
booth in the pavilion.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

Thanks for hosting - Frank and Ayush had a great time and also said there
was terrific interest there.

It's an exciting time for Postgres!

We had anywhere from 2 to 7+ people manning the booth at all times. Visitors
always came away with a smile on their face. Many came over to say they
supported the project. A lot of them came to ask for real problems and more
than a few were to get support and be prepared to pay for it.

How good? The MySQL booth guys came over from their booth and picked up more
than a few of our "elephant roasting dolphin" postcard.

I think shared is too strong a word. ;)
