Subject: [HACKERS] Announcement: I've joined Red Hat


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.

If you mean a code fork, no.  Red Hat hasn't forked any of the other
open-source projects they contribute to; why would they start with
Postgres?

It seems entirely possible that at any given time, what Red Hat is
selling as RHDB might be ahead of, behind, or different from the
latest community release of Postgres, just because of differing
release cycles, features not merged yet, or whatever.  But there's
no intention to cause a fork.
