Thread: Personal note: changing employers
As of the end of this month, I will be departing Salesforce.com and joining Crunchy Data Solutions (http://crunchydatasolutions.com), whom you might recognize as being already the employers of Stephen Frost, Joe Conway, and Greg Smith, as well as a few other folk who hang out on pghackers. While I enjoyed working at Salesforce, it was sucking an awfully large percentage of my time away from the PG community. With this change, I expect to return to spending more-or-less full time on community work. regards, tom lane

So,... congrats? Thom

So I guess this means that the Fedora-wearing Elephant that ended up on a Cloud[1] is suddenly turning into a Hippo. :P [1] https://secure2.sfdcstatic.com/common/assets/images/home/sfdc-home-footer-logo.png -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting, Austin TX Experts in Analytics, Data Architecture and PostgreSQL Data in Trouble?

I'm not sure how we got from Proboscidae all the way over to Theria, but whatever. At least it's still under Mammalia. regards, tom lane

I take it that Crunchy's model involves more FOSS and less special sauce...

Well done and good luck.

Excellent news. Glad to have you back; we all missed you.

The short answer is yes, Crunchy is committed to FOSS. Further discussion isn't really appropriate for this list, but feel free to ping me off-list if you'd like to chat about it. Thanks! Stephen
