I've accepted an offer from Fujitsu Australia Software Technologies to 
work on PostgreSQL full-time for them for the next twelve months in 
Sydney, Australia. I'll be working with Gavin Sherry and two other 
full-time developers from FAST. I'm grateful to Fujitsu for giving me 
the opportunity to do this, and I look forward to doing what I can to 
improve PostgreSQL over the next year.

Cool!  I hope you have fun while you're over here!

Out of interest, do you have free reign to code whatever you want, or do 
you have a specific set of things to do for Fujitsu?  Also, will you be 
working on the open source server, or Fujitsu proprietary extensions?

Cheers,

Chris

Congratulations. It's nice to hear that Fujitsu keeps supporting 
Postgres. Hopefully other companies can follow suit :-)

It seems commercial companies are more keen to support BSD-ish free 
software (Apache, Postgres, Perl, Ruby, etc.)? With the exception of 
Linux of course.

I'll be working on a bit of everything; my initial focus will be on new 
feature development for 8.1
