Peter, > Hence my original point: the list of supporting companies > does not primarily belong in the advocacy realm. But it does! You pointed it out yourself .... for the hackers & OSS tech people, they can just look at the descriptions of the major contributors and figure things out for themselves. They don't need a list with company logos & links. This is important because we've (people on the Advocacy list) briefly discussed expanding this page to cover companies which, in the future, make *financial* contributions to PostgreSQL ... sort of a "corporate donors" page. This works very well in standard nonprofit fundraising; the project gets $, and the donors get publicity. Obviously, contributors would have to be categorized, but that's an issue for when we're ready to set it up. > > It is there for IT department managers, PHBs, people considering > > PostgreSQL, and people looking for high-end paid support. > > Great, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
