Re: [GENERAL] High Level Committers Wanted
Hello, I rarely post in this group, but felt input would be important to chime in here from a security aspect. One of the primary challenges I've seen in the past with migrating to PostgreSQL from Oracle is implementing DISA STIG compliance. This may or may not be a requirement in your environment. While there is an Oracle STIG available, there is currently no PostgreSQL STIG - so you will need to engineer much of the required settings/etc. using the Generic Database STIG located at http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/app_security/database/general.html Fortunately, because PostgreSQL is secure by default many of the needed settings are already in place by default. However, you still need documentation to prove this to an auditor.

As PostgreSQL is community driven project and is not owned by any single company, people who wish to sponsor development of major features need to contact invidual developers or companies providing such services, rather than making a general posting. My company, 2ndQuadrant, has been contributing major features to PostgreSQL for 10 full years now and we aim to accelerate the growth of community development into the future. 2ndQuadrant guarantees that all sponsored developments will be contractually bound to novate copyright to the PostgreSQL Global Development Group and to release all such code under The PostgreSQL Licence. In addition, wherever possible, given community discussion, feedback and agreement the code will be submitted as patches to core PostgreSQL and we will pursue commit of those changes as well as longer term bug fixing. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

I would suggest you consider attending pgcon, as many of the major developers will be there, including many committers (both those you have mentioned and others). I'm sure several of these topics will already be covered there, and there's also an unconference day that is open for any topic. See http://www.pgcon.org/2014/.
