Thread: The new globe
First of all, great work. I love it. Just some minor nitpits: My mail address while correct in the text is incorrect in the graphic. The mail address listed there is no longer valid, so mail may bounce. As for the text, I have done next to nothing for multi-byte support. I guess this one's incorrect. Also we list Dr. Andrew Martin (btw if we do list titles, I have a Dr. too :-)) as having done the ecpg interface. I don't like to offend him, but Andrew what part of the interface did you write? The original source was done by Linus Tolke AFAIK. Michael -- Dr. Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers! Th.-Heuss-Str. 61, D-41812 Erkelenz | Go Rhein Fire! Tel.: (+49) 2431/72651 | Use Debian GNU/Linux!

Hmmm - the address in the graphic, the one in the text and
the mailto: hyperlink on it are all the same:
<meskes@postgresql.org> - or do I need new glasses?

Now it starts, so let's grab the chance.
Well, the ~wieck developers page was just a quick hack to
demonstrate how my version would look like. But it seems to
be the right time to tidy up the entire content before I
release the lock and hand it back to Bruce and Vince. I
wondered all the time I worked on it why there's a pin for
Neil while he's not mentioned in the text at all?!?
Would ANYONE who's listed or pinned on the page/graphic, and
those who want to be, please drop me a little note including:
o the complete name, maybe title (if they want) and
location (like {in|near} Hamburg, Germany). For
locations usually unknown in the world (like Harsefeld in
my case) we use a bigger town close to that and say near.
o the LAT/LON position of their location so I don't have to
lookup everyone in my maps,
o the correct eMail address,
o and most important, the contributions they have made to
PostgreSQL.

Just uploaded the latest version. You need a Shift+Reload to
get the latest image corresponding to the map. I polished it
up a little, filled water into some lakes and added some text
to the lower half.
Added are:
Oleg Bartunov,
Byron Nikolaidis (just the pin) and
Lamar Owen.
Now the east coast is more packed - just like europe. :-)
In the text section I've added another cathegory "Non-code
contributors". That's where I added Oleg.

That's where I added Oleg. I think you can put Vince there too. I removed the section because only Vince was there in the past. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

I get meskes@topsystem.de if I go over my place in the graphic.

Since I'm already in, do you still need this?
