Re: (offtopic) ISO certificates

Adrian,

please have a look at http://pypy.org/

PyPy is financed by the EU commission, and they sureley have no certificate. Beatrice During from Changemaker has done lots of the EU negotiations, if you need a personal contact let me know.

On the other hand: PostgreSQL complies to ISO standards. Compliance to xxx% to the ISO of SQL99, yyy% to the ISO of SQL2003 (it's stated within the documentation somewhere)

I am tempted to answer that we are not ISO certified.  And to explain
that we will probably never have such a certificate because in an opensource
project it is not possible to force everyone to work according to some strict procedures .

Hm. PostgreSQL complies to very very strict procedures: there are regression test for big chunks of PostgreSQL. The acceptance process of patches is also highly structured.
It's more a question to find somebody to document and certify this; but if he is talking big money, that "certificat" would be a cheap aspect.
