PostgreSQL is huge in Japan

Posted on July 08, 2006
I had no idea how big PostgreSQL is in Japan.  I'm in the PostgreSQL Fundraising and Advocacy meeting right now and JPUG is pdoing a presentation.  With ~3,000 members and 8 branches, JPUG is very well organized and impressive.  They distributed one of their newsletters to us which was very high quality.  While I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding the speaker, I cant help be be amazed at how well these guys are organized and the thriving community over there.
