Hi,

As we have recently released PostgreSQL 11 Beta 3, the time to releasing
PostgreSQL 11 is drawing near. I wanted to share with you a draft of the
proposed press release to solicit *constructive* feedback, specifically looking
for:

- Grammatical mistakes / typos / awkward + unclear language
- Technical inaccuracies
- Suggestions for missing features that should be highlighted
- Quotes - you can see there are lots of room for them ;-)

Please bear in mind that the release is targeted towards the users of
PostgreSQL, the vast majority of whom do not post to the mailing lists, and the
principle idea behind the language is to help clearly explain why one should
upgrade, if not use, PostgreSQL 11 and how to utilize the new features
available. For many people, this is their only viewpoint into whats in the
release, so let's make sure it makes them excited about using PostgreSQL!

If you wish to provide feedback, please send it no later than Aug 31, 2018.
After that, the draft will need to be finalized (barring changes from -hackers
on which features are included).

If you wish to provide a quote, please send an
email to [email protected] with your name, organization, and the quote.

Below is a copy of the press release draft:

Thanks for your help,

Jonathan
