Thread: Linux New Media Award Winners
Did anybody see this article on linux magazine: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Press/Releases It shows that PostgreSQL was recognized as the database project that have done the most to promote free software and advance the use of Linux worldwide. Just a curiosity, it the first time that PostgreSQL overcame MySQL. -- Diogo de Oliveira Biazus diogo@ikono.com.br Ikono Sistemas e Automação http://www.ikono.com.br

Maybe they meant "for the first time for their magazine"? I'll try and remember to get some new photographs up this week for the ones we've won so far, so that we can get them up onto the advocacy site ...?

That's a good idea. The way the contents of the Advocacy site are managed needs to be upgraded very soon too. Hoping Ewald (and perhaps Robert) have some time to assist with this. It's a PHP thing so it shouldn't be a problem. :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.
