Re: Release, 3rd draft

"The project is clearly accelerating in the minds of database users," said Lance Obermeyer, Director of Products at Pervasive Software, one of PostgreSQL's corporate sponsors.
"Given the growing interest in open source infrastructure software, we're expecting PostgreSQL to pick up even more steam."

Well, since it's your quote, want to say something?

Also, we could just not mention the number ... although then reporters are
liable to ask.

Would it make sense to have a couple of the community popular make
quotes? I am not trying to take away from Pervasive here, just thinking
that if we had Green Plum, Pervasive and Command Prompt all mentioning
a 1-2 sentence blurb about their particular markets with PostgreSQL it
may lend weight.

Sincerely,

This is a press release, not a feature story. I'm working on somewhere
on the PressKit page to put a list of support companies.
