Hi Robert,

I can't vouch for anyone, but a couple that are missing are:

NSA: http://www.nsa.co.il/ - provide one of our frontend static
webservers.
Pervasive: http://www.pervasive.com/ - provide a dedicate high end
server currently used as a mail distribution server and frontend static
webserver.
800 Pound Gorilla: http://www.ehpg.net/ - provide a dedicated server
used as a frontend webserver, and backend dynamic webserver.

Regards, Dave.

If we're adding sponsors, we need to do a clean sweep, otherwise we may offend
some people who were not included.  For example:

Deltasoft (Oleg, tsearch2)
Family Health Network (KL's employer)
2nd Quadrant (Simon)

We'll also need to be ready to add GreenPlum, SpikeSource and Pervasive when
(if?) they actually make a contribution.

Pervasive have :-). They've given us a dedicated dual 3GHz Xeon server,
and Anoop has been working on psqlODBC.

Well, 800 gorilla and vale-housing are both listed on the todo item, but
I didnt see a suitable logo in my quick perusal so they'll have to wait
till next time.  As for the others... I think the this list is supposed
to be primarily for companies that sponsor full time developers, and I
guess people who provide key pieces of infrastructure; hosting cvs
probably counts, gborg or foundry too I would imagine, but just a static
web server not so much. At least not on this list... if you want to
debate that I'd say take it too advocacy, but you might want to wait
till people stop discuss font sizes, pl packaging, and software patents.
:-)


As Marc has confirmed what I have in my development site, I am hoping to
commit and move on for now.

Does this mean you're objecting to me committing my code that only adds
the aforementioned three?  I'm not prepared to do a "clean sweep" at
this point.

I am curious as to how the Sponsors are listed? I mean what was the
decision on the order?

I am not going to vouch for Command Prompt (for obvious reasons) but I
think someone else will.

The only servers acting as mail distribution servers currently are
saturn.hub.org and a server at CommandPrompt ...  oh damn, that's the one
that you just setup and I haven't added yet, isn't it? :)

What is the hostname for that one again?  is that ferengi?

I think in order that they were added to the list, based on what I can see
... looks like he's just appending to the bottom of the existing table,
since I doubt right now its database driven ... but taht is just a guess
...

Well I can provide a vale logo, but there's no real need to list us -
it's not like we're a tech company, or that we'd benefit from it in any
way.

Pervasive have donated a dual 3G Xeon box with a 100Mb net connection
(more horsepower than anyone else has donated that I'm aware of), and
developer time for psqlODBC. I'll grant you the NSA one is not as much,
but I think Pervasive certainly deserve inclusion.

Oh, I avoid -advocacy as much as I can as a matter of course :-)

ORDER BY country, company

At least that was the first algorithm I cam up with for the existing list.

Unfortunately I am realizing my wording has caused some debate.  No one needs
to vouch for you to be added, that discussion has been had and your on the
list (located in the todo item).  What I need you to "vouch for" is that the
logo/link are acceptable for display.

I am happy to be on the list. Consider this a voucher :)

It almost needs to be split up between 'software sponsors' vs
'infrastructure sponsors' ...

Well, my original assertion was "sponsors" and "contributors" so that we could
list companies like Deltasoft without "watering down" the full-time-developer
sponsors.

Hi Lance,

I've added Pervasive to the list - the change will be visible within a
day or so.
