Description:
The PostgreSQL community is dealing with the loss of Simon Riggs, who
passed away on March26: Simon was responsible for many of the enterprise 
features we find
	in PostgreSQL today, including point in time recovery, hot standby,
	and synchronous replication. He was the founder of 2ndQuadrant
	which employed many of the PostgreSQL developers, later becoming
	part of EDB where he worked as a Postgres Fellow until his
	retirement. He was responsible for the UK PostgreSQL conferences
	for many years until he passed that responsibility to PostgreSQL
	Europe last year.
