While I have been contributing to Red Hat's development (through maintenance
of the PostgreSQL RPMset) for some years now, I'll go ahead with the self
intro as requested on the fedora.us site.

I currently maintain the community packages for PostgreSQL, as well as
building packages for other programs, including the SWORD project and
BibleTime (Bible software for KDE using the SWORD libraries and modules).
While I do some QA testing now, I am mostly interested in making the Fedora
PostgreSQL packages the best they can be.
Historical Qualifications.
Over four years maintaining the PostgreSQL RPMs and contributing to
discussions there and on the RPM list. I've beta tested Red Hat for right at
four years, since the 6.2 cycle. I have programmed in numerous languages
over the years: see my sourceforge profile (user lowen). I maintain the
postgresql database driver for the AOLserver project. Red Hat trusts me (Red
Hat 6.1 shipped with rebuilt versions of my PostgreSQL packages, and they
have been the base packages ever since, even though RH has their own internal
maintainer (currently David Jees, previously Andrew Overholt and before that
Trond Eivind Glomsrød)), so I guess you should too. :-)

I guess I'll begin signing the PostgreSQL RPM's at
ftp.postgresql.org; they
haven't previously been signed.
