community, Peter will help lead Sun's PostgreSQL engineering team and

also help facilitate Sun's participation in the PostgreSQL community
development effort, while maintaining his active role as a member of the

Many of you probably know Peter from his presentations during many PostgreSQL, Linux and other Open Source conferences.

He is engaged throughout the Open Source world, including being a Debian developer and package maintainer. Peter will continue his leadership position in the PostgreSQL community, with which Sun maintains a strong relationship and commitment.
We are very excited to have Peter joining us. Welcome aboard!
