Thread: one for our brag page
Here is one for our brag page. I finally got the OK for us to mention Safeway. Safeway -- "A retail environment across 3000 servers for business critical applications." Can someone list Safeway on the Featured User Pages? I eked out a one liner description that is OK with Safeway. It would be nice to have a short description of the usage of PostgreSQL on the featured user pages so that we know a bit of what all of these companies are using postgres for. --elein Varlena, LLC elein@varlena.com

You are supposed to say "oooh! 3000 servers" and > forget to ask for details :) Well ,for the website we now pretty much have a plain listing (just the company name), a case study (but it doesn't seem they're ready for that, right?) or a quote (listed on a page and randomly rotated to the frontpage). Any chance you can get such a quote out of somebody who works there, that we can stick in the archive? (I've added them to the plain list) I'd certainly not mind seeing a more complete description for each company, but it'll certainly look weird if we add it for just one of them... //Magnus

We tried that with the first cut and rejected it as being too cluttered.
