Thread: New dateline for release?
Folks, Since 8.2 is not going to be out in time for any conference I know of, we need to revert to using a default city for the date line. In the past, we've used New York, New York. However, by a coincidence it's fairly likely that several major PostgreSQL developers will be together in the Bay Area around the time of the release, so I was thinking of using San Francisco, CA. It's also a shameless attempt to piggyback on all of the Oracle hullaboloo currently in the news. Are there any strong objections to this? Also, based on a consensus reached around the 7.3 release, we're way overdue for letting the Australians break the release in their time zone (we've done the US and Europe twice each). So if it's practical with our web stuff, I'm going to do the release at 15:00 UTC. Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco 415-752-2500

Josh,
If you are going to San Francisco
with the PostgreSQL release
be sure to wear
some flowers in your hair.
Can we get an elephant with flowers in its hairs?

Chander,
Nice. But now that they moved to Wahington, D.C., the elephant no longer needs to wear flowers in his hair :(
But now we can title "first good news from Washington in years: PostgreSQL 8.2 released on... 2006-12-5" ...
Sad that not 2006-12-06 was chosen, that is "St. Nicolaus Day" who normally brings presents.
