Thread: 8.5 release notes idea
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Just noticed in the release notes for 8.4, there are two items accredited to just "Greg" (but there are three of us Gregs who contributed to 8.4 and are in the notes). While this is very likely Greg Stark, due to the context, I think at this point in the project we simply should spell out everyone's complete name every time, rather than the hit or miss style we are developing. (Enjoy while you can, Bruce, we'll get another Bruce to contribute someday! Zoltan might be harder... :) - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200908311229 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkqcJRkACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiOvgCg2g5ugh2v2XPxaKYXmKZTSHr2 8tcAoInJBqXfdn57eIEEtp5hc4nF+wlL =Uydn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

While this is very likely > Greg Stark, due to the context... That's correct--you and I are spelled out completely everwhere we show up there, so all the "Greg" references without a last name are to Greg Stark. I would not be surprised to find so many Greg Smith's one day that we all end up identified by SHA-1 hash. > Enjoy while you can, Bruce, we'll get another Bruce to contribute > someday! I think any Bruce or Tom who tries to submit a patch will have to be given a funny nickname instead. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD

Well they're intended to be. I'm not sure I actually contributed much to those though. -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf

I have tried to use short names where possible to avoid having the usernames become too prominent. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

My middle name is Bruce; there wouldn't be any "legal humps" to overcome
for me to use the moniker "Bruce Browne" :-).
