Submit a note to other site saying that Slashdot rejects news about
PostgreSQL :-)

Yeah really... that seems like almost enough of a nugget for a news item
itself... "slashdot rejects announcement of a major release of a major
open source software project"... an insider for the venerable news site
who spoke on the condition of anonymity said "every time we put up a
postgresql news item, the flame wars that erupt from the other open
source databases completely overload our message boards. as long as we
keep running on mysql, we just can't afford to give postgresql any press
coverage"...

I managed to get a 7.3 release posted on /. -- so I'll give it a shot.

If you haven't done it already, try linking to the Computerworld.au article
for the submission.

Some interesting threads came up on Linux Weekly News to that effect
about the Linux Gazette 'split.'

Synopsis: Linux Gazette was a monthly 'e-zine' that joined up with
SSC, publishers of Linux Journal, for help with web hosting and
editorial matters. SSC wanted a change of direction, to turn it into
more of a 'Linux daily news portal' thing, which didn't fit with the
intent of LG 'staff.'

There has been a fork: SSC kept the linuxgazette.com domain; the
"Answer Gang" have registered linuxgazette.net to continue on with the
'monthly thing.' And SSC has been censoring complaints about the
matter.

Reporting on Slashdot censorship could be news :-).

I tried with the LinuxWorld article and the release notes.

Rejected...

Guys,

Interesting. I'll have to drop a note to some of the Slashdot crew to see
what's going on.

Hmmm ....

Can somebody see if they can dig up a direct e-mail or two for me? Hemos,
Taco, & Neal are pretty hard to reach, otherwise they'd be flooded with
e-mail.

I'd like to know the criteria for accepting, cause your text was exactly
the same as my text, but I added a link to the press release to it :(

It's funny. I didn't submit a particularly lengthy or well-thought out
one, because I didn't realise I'd actually get accepted :)

Yes! I read the entire thread and our message is clearly getting out.
I never would have seen that 2 years ago.

Actually, what I notice is that back in 7.1 days, etc. SlashDot would be
full of people ripping off Postgres, nowadays it's 95% people in full
favour of Postgres and against MySQL.

Things have really changed for the better.

I thought about that, but then I decided that SlashDot is a tech crowd
so I linked to the more technical list which itself has a link to the
Press Release...
