Why PostgreSQL?
My company's business revolves around PostgreSQL.
Tell us about your involvement with the greater Postgres community.
I have been involved with PostgreSQL for about 10 years. Over the years I have contributed by reporting bugs and developing various FDWs. I have also worked to make PostgreSQL an XA complaint database by using a modified version of pgBouncer. My next plans are to come up with small programming exercises with solutions to accompany this book http://www.interdb.jp/pg/ ("The Internals of PostgreSQL for database administrators and system developers" by Hironobu Suzuki). This will give the readers hands on experience.
