PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.

For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.

@fuzzychef I'm the product owner of a scientific computing project using PostgreSQL as our DB.

Now I want to find a way to sneak in a reference to boxes of tequila.

@DanielEriksson @fuzzychef perhaps tequila could be packaged in a box like some wine ("goon" to some Down Under)
