Обсуждение: A few thoughts for further marketing
Hi everyone;
I was thinking it might be a good idea to run a series of articles entitled "Why Use Postgres In ____" where the blank could be filled in with things like "agile development" or "centralized data management" etc. Each article could then address the killer features that PostgreSQL has in these areas. Another approach might be from open source projects like Django or LedgerSMB write up additional case studies that might go in a different section. Maybe case studies could be divided into business case studies and development case studies?
Just some initial thoughts. What does everyone else think?
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

I think that there is also very important to show the sources of the information from the press materials, such us why we claim that something is 4 times faster.

Chris,

I actually had a couple of thoughts. First, ideally we should try to get contributions from people actively involved in many fields. There are a couple that I could do with varying degrees of authority.
The first would be "Why use PostgreSQL in ERP?" Maybe I could approach the xtuple folks to collaborate here, and at least get review, editorial feedback, and ensure we are marketing this as more than just my project.
The second which I would be a little less qualified at would be "Why use PostgreSQL in Agile Development?" but I am pretty sure I could find folks to collaborate on there too.
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

We'd be happy to contribute to this.

Something that's come up over the last few years in messages to press@ are requests for US Government case studies. If anyone is itching to write one up, it would be very useful to have them. ;) Also, simply linking to case studies from every conference in a central location would be a giant step forward. Here's a wiki page that I started if someone has few spare cycles to go through a few conferences and link to slides/video: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Case_Study_Links -selena -- http://chesnok.com

Will try to add categories too. Jonathan

Did some updating, check it out: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Case_Study_Links
I was able to easily find the talk lists + presentation links for Open (2011, 2012), EU (2011) and PGCon (2010, 2011, 2012) and tried to pull out talks that were around case studies. I tried not to choose talks that were "Postgres being used in <commercial product>" - and of course, I may have missed talks that should be in the list :-)
I don't think I have all of the PGDay NYC 2012 slides as we had a few case studies at that - I can try reaching out to the presenters to see if they would be willing to share their slides for the wiki. I'm also going to try and go through our past NYCPUG meetup list to see if I can dig up some slides that would fit the "case study" bill.

Thanks so much for doing this! :)
I'm very happy that we have such a great resource to point people to when they ask in the future.
