Thread: FYI: Fujitsu
I've accepted an offer from Fujitsu Australia Software Technologies to work on PostgreSQL full-time for them for the next twelve months in Sydney, Australia. I'll be working with Gavin Sherry and two other full-time developers from FAST. I'm grateful to Fujitsu for giving me the opportunity to do this, and I look forward to doing what I can to improve PostgreSQL over the next year. -Neil

I hope you have fun while you're over here! Out of interest, do you have free reign to code whatever you want, or do you have a specific set of things to do for Fujitsu? Also, will you be working on the open source server, or Fujitsu proprietary extensions? Cheers, Chris

It's nice to hear that Fujitsu keeps supporting Postgres. Hopefully other companies can follow suit :-) It seems commercial companies are more keen to support BSD-ish free software (Apache, Postgres, Perl, Ruby, etc.)? With the exception of Linux of course. -- dave
