Thread: An article mentioning PostgreSQL

I just came across this article:

http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/11/11/1848223.shtml?tid=3

It's an ERP company, OpenMFG, that uses Linux, PostgreSQL and QT.  In the
article they say they're active in Postgres development.  Just wondering if
they wanted to say hi!

That is Ned Lilly, former Great Bridge employee.  I talk to him
regularly.  I don't think they have submitted any patches recently, but
he does reply to email postings periodically.

While we're on the topic, it appears that Compiere (www.compiere.org)
are in the process of porting their software to work with PostgreSQL:
       http://www.compiere.org/technology/pg/index.html

GNUe has also supported PostgreSQL for a long time, although I'm not
sure what state their ERP implementation is at:
       http://www.gnuenterprise.org/

Yeah, we made an announcement to -general a few weeks ago, but didn't cross-post to -hackers.

Cheers to all.  Obviously as a co-founder of Great Bridge, I'm a big believer in Postgres.  OpenMFG makes extensive use
ofpl/pgsql for most of its ERP business logic. 

We've also been beta testing PeerDirect's new Windows port, which I'd encourage more people to get involved with.  As
hasbeen observed on this list before, as much as we all love Linux/BSD, if you don't have a Windows solution, you're
missingan awfully big chunk of the market - and that's particularly true in our world of small manufacturing.  That's
whywe chose Qt - one source tree, identical clients for Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac. 

Regards,
Ned
