Since then, we’ve done quite well, and are getting closer to our goal every day. PostgreSQL Experts soon committed to cover $5,000 in expenses, Dalibo pledged €5,000 last month, and just yesterday Etsy promised $1,000. We’ve also received contributions from:

So far, we’ve raised $18,359. Yay! I’m really happy with how well this is going. But we still need to raise another $6,641 to meet our goal. I’m hoping to get that done in the next couple of weeks. Can you help out?
