As most of you probably know, my former employer Great Bridge folded a
couple months ago.  I am happy to announce that I've accepted a position
with Red Hat Inc, working in their database group.  I expect to be able
to continue full-time involvement with PostgreSQL.  (Or should I say
"Red Hat Database" now?)  I'm excited about this opportunity, and
believe that it will work out in the best interests of the Postgres
community as well as of the company.

Congratulations! It really seems like a smart (altough expected) move 
from RH :)

Will there be any other "acquisitions" by RH ?

Them getting Cygnus of all things available also seemed like a really 
bright idea so I
have quite high expectations for them.

PS. Is it postgres community or postgreSQL community ? ;)

Woof!

Glad to hear it, Tom.  Well, that certainly eased some of the potential 
concerns about the direction of RHDB in my mind, at least.

Fantastic!
I was worried about RedHat becoming the "Microsoft of Linux," but every step
they have taken seems to indicate they wish to take the high road. 

Good luck.
