Involvement of Unisys

From

Date:
FYI, I have met with Unisys in Philadelphia several times during the
past few months.  They were considering getting involved with
PostgreSQL, and now have decided they want to.

They are looking at how they can use PostgreSQL for customers, and how
they can help the PostgreSQL community.  They sponsored Simon Riggs to
study our i386 SMP problem, and are considering other support like
sponsoring features, developers, or hosting events.  I have been talking
mostly with Robert Wilkinson <rob.wilkinson@unisys.com> at Unisys.

Does this mean I can start listing Unisys as a "PostgreSQL-supporting
company"?

Uh, they haven't really done enough yet for that, I think.

Other then deciding they want to, haven't they actually done *anything*
yet?

They did sponsor Simon for 1-2 weeks.  My point was that that isn't
signficant, long-standing support.
