I'm happy to announce that PostgreSQL will have a home at
LinuxWorld in two weeks after all. My company, OpenMFG, is
teaming up with SRA America to wave the elephant flag at booth
#1411 - right next door to the ".org Pavillion", two booths up
from the Intel spread.
OpenMFG is a powerful and feature-rich ERP system that's
written with PostgreSQL on the server, and Qt on the client
(binaries available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X). The
business logic is all in pl/pgsql, and performance is fantastic
and very scalable. We'll be handing out CDs with free demo
versions of our ERP package, as well as PostgreSQL 8.0 source
and binaries. The CD will also contain a beta version of our
OpenRPT report writer and rendering engine, which we'll be
releasing under an open source license at the end of the beta
cycle.
SRA America is the US arm of the established Japan-based
systems integrator Software Research Associates. As most of you
know, SRA has been an active supporter of the PostgreSQL
project for many years, and they currently employ several
active contributors to the project, including core developer
Bruce Momjian. They provide a variety of PostgreSQL services,
including consulting, migration, support, and training.
So the general idea is that you get:
a) a software product vendor who's built their entire product
and business around PostgreSQL, and
b) an international services firm who is leading the charge of
PostgreSQL consulting and support in the enterprise.
If you're going to be in Boston from Feb. 15 to 17, please stop
by and say hi.
