Thread: Stonebraker's Turing award

Stonebraker's Turing award

From
Elein
Date:
I had the opportunity to speak to Michael Stonebraker at his Turing award reception at UCBerkeley.

I took the opportunity to thank him and congratulate him on behalf of PostgreSQL Advocacy. I reminded him of our great
coremembers, committers, developers and users. And that we have a huge world-wide community. And that many if us have
goodwork due to the existence of postgres.  

I believe he appreciated our success and continuity and work very much.

I hope I did not overstep by speaking on behalf of all of us.

Most of the guests and toasts were from UCB professors and former students and former Ingres and Illustra people.
AlthoughI am in most of those groups, I felt that an acknowledgement to PostgreSQL was called for.
