Peter EisentrautGUEST
I think for, obviously Postgres implements SQL ever since, I mean, obviously there was a change from what was it before PostQL, right? But ever since I was involved, it's been SQL.

Peter EisentrautGUEST
It was just, SQL was just a thing that sort of came out of somewhere and we had no involvement or knowledge of it at all.

Peter EisentrautGUEST
It's just sort of by rumor, it's sort of a new version popped up because the process is obscure, right? And initially, there was no way of even knowing how to do anything about it.

Peter EisentrautGUEST
But then over time, as the project grew and the commercial opportunities, meaning availability of time and money to do this kind of thing, grew that then it was possible to to figure out okay so where does this come from and who who do we need to know to get involved in this right and so i i was encouraged by my manager at the time simon riggs to to figure out how that should work and i also happened this there was a some fortunate circumstances there that also happened to be at an event where i met people who were already involved in that and i You know, just ask them like, hey, I'm actually supposed to find you.

So I'm really curious, where are all the Postgres users? And can you share with us a little bit of your thinking in writing that blog?
