Thread: Thought for updating the Case Studies page
Looking at the Case Studies page: http://www.postgresql.org/about/casestudies/ Many of those are pretty old, and the list isn't all that expansive. As a thought for expanding it out a bit, we already have a list of businesses offering PostgreSQL in various ways: http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/ (by region) http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_hosting/ (also by region) If we reach out to the contact people for each of the listed entries there, we could quickly ask: * Would your company be a suitable Case Study for the PostgreSQL website? * Would any of your customers (or other contacts) be a suitable Case Study for the PostgreSQL website? The initial reach-ing out bit is fairly straightforward, processing responses (depending on volume) could take a bit of effort. Updating the website shouldn't be too hard either. Thoughts? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

Cool. :) From what I remember (it's been a while), for them to be official Case Studies they need to give their official "ok" with being included. It's just a form to sign by a "senior enough" person at the company, to make sure there's no misunderstanding. Also, it's a good idea for us to really get in contact with someone at the company that knows about the PG use, to get some details for making public. (positive PR on both sides :>). I'm not sure if we still have the forms around for doing this. I can dig them up again (or remake them) if no-one else has them. :) + Justin

Second, I think there's an easier way if someone wants to do the legwork: just collect a list of every company who has slides online for a presentation dealing with their use of PostgreSQL. -- -- Josh Berkus Red Hat OSAS (any opinions are my own)

No worries. My time is reasonably flexible at the moment, so shouldn't be a stress to put some time into this. First things first, I need to get my head around how the websites are done these days. Will read through the pgsql-www archives and take it from there. :) + Justin
