That wasn't pgsql-announce, that was a commandprompt internal announce list. //Magnus On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 19:53, Robert Haas <robertmhaas@gmail.com> wrote: > Uh, is this sort of thing allowed on pgsql-announce?

If i hadn't been asleep at the switch, I would have realized that [Announce] != [ANNOUNCE]. The mental image of you spitting coffee on your screen is pretty amusing, though. I don't suppose you got a recording of that???? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Hmm, the policy is actually unclear on that point. It's 2 per year for "commercial entities who are not financial, in-kind or code contributors to the PostgreSQL project". It doesn't quote a number for sponsors that I can see (though, if we start getting a lot of announcements there, I can imagine it getting capped pretty quickly)! -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Also, the announcement would still need to pass an appropriateness test. Anyway, the point is moot; that email was not from pgsql-announce. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

The fact that Beta2 just came out 2. The CFP for #PgWest 3. A produce advertisement about our Audit and Tune Basically, it was just a generalized, "Hey guys, guess what is going on and OH! You might want to consider this service" vs "CMD Announces new High Availability service" or some such thing. CMD has sent -announce emails about specific services in the past (as have others) and I believe that is perfectly reasonable but this email doesn't seem to fit the bill. Sincerely, Joshua D.
