Looking for more "big name" places that use PostgreSQL

Hi everyone,

We're looking to get an initial "PostgreSQL Advocacy and Marketing" site
up an running in the next day or so.

Whilst we know of a reasonable number of large places running PostgreSQL
(as shown on the
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/techdocs/supportcontracts.php page),
we're still looking for further examples.

Specifically, we are looking for places that are happy to discuss it,
either a) not publicly, or b) happy to let the world know about it.

Probably about 1/3 to 1/4 of the large organisations that we know are
using PostgreSQL for important work aren't yet able to announce it
publicly.  Please don't let this stop you from letting us know
privately, as we are interested in the implementation details and will
respect your confidentiality.

So, if you're using PostgreSQL and haven't directly let us know, please
do so now if you can.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Hi Justin, Just Sports USA, my employer is the largest professional
sports licensed merchandise retailer in the US and we use PostgreSQL as
the foundation of our technology solution that runs everything from our
purchasing system to our in-store point-of-sale systems.  Contact me if
you would like a more detailed description of our use, how it's worked
flawlessly for us for over 3 years, or anything else related.

Yes, and I am going to start working on advocacy this week.  If you are
interested in sharing your experience of PostgreSQL with others, please
subscribe to the advocacy mailing list.  Some items I want to focus on
are:

    quotations
    company users
    beef up developers list, add companies
    success stories
    BSD license
    funding
    non-technical papers
    phone/email/visit potential PostgreSQL sites
