Thread: Announcement: I've joined Red Hat
As most of you probably know, my former employer Great Bridge folded a
couple months ago. I am happy to announce that I've accepted a position
with Red Hat Inc, working in their database group. I expect to be able
to continue full-time involvement with PostgreSQL. (Or should I say
"Red Hat Database" now?) I'm excited about this opportunity, and
believe that it will work out in the best interests of the Postgres
community as well as of the company.
regards, tom lane

If you mean a code fork, no. Red Hat hasn't forked any of the other
open-source projects they contribute to; why would they start with
Postgres?
It seems entirely possible that at any given time, what Red Hat is
selling as RHDB might be ahead of, behind, or different from the
latest community release of Postgres, just because of differing
release cycles, features not merged yet, or whatever. But there's
no intention to cause a fork.

Does this mean there will be two versions of PostgreSQL?

Glad to hear it, Tom. Well, that certainly eased some of the potential concerns about the direction of RHDB in my mind, at least. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

It really seems like a smart (altough expected) move from RH :) >I'm excited about this opportunity, and >believe that it will work out in the best interests of the Postgres >community as well as of the company. > Will there be any other "acquisitions" by RH ? Them getting Cygnus of all things available also seemed like a really bright idea so I have quite high expectations for them. PS. Is it postgres community or postgreSQL community ? ;) ------------------------- Hannu
Fantastic! I was worried about RedHat becoming the "Microsoft of Linux," but every step they have taken seems to indicate they wish to take the high road. Good luck.
