Later on, would you consider doing this again for men and women sized polo shirts?

I've already purchased one a while back from a business that must have gone out of business because they are no longer selling these shirts. I liked the XL shirt that I bought in every way except I that I think that the manufactures in Mexico must have different standards on shirt sizes than the US. It seems sized like a medium to large and it fits me like a glove. But there is a plus side to its sizing, I never need to iron out the wrinkles to give it that nice pressed look. :o)

Richard Broersma Jr.

I've got a real desire for a PG polo. :)  One which I could wear to work
(business casual or whatever) would seriously rock.  I have no idea
who my work got their polos through but they're quite decent and would
be happy to find out, if it'd help. :)

Thanks!

That's what I like to do. The dress-code in the industry that I work is to wear collared shirts. And having a PostgreSQL polo shirt to wear certainly gives PostgreSQL a looks very professional "look" in the work place. Wearing the shirt that I have at the work place and at client facilities has started several conversations about what PostgreSQL is and how it can be used.

I personally wouldn't even mind having a PG polo that has 3rd part vendor logos on the sleeves if that would help make PG polo shirts available.

Richard Broersma Jr.

Joshua, I went to the PG site to get a look at the shirts. A search of
the site shows a couple of comments by yourself mentioning that the
shirts can be ordered from www.sourcewear.com (though this was in '04).
The others concern the Italian PG group. Unfortunately, sourcewear's
server seems to be configured with Indexes off but no DirectoryIndex.
And google is showing an awful lot of comments from very unsatisfied
customers.

So, um, where can we see the shirts? Are they still sold through
sourcewear? Are they still in business?

We don't use sourceware :).. And actually I *think* that might have been
Josh Berkus.

We do not yet have a "store" although it has been something of interest
in the past. We usually order them in bulk and then request donations
for them at the conferences and shows.

Note :) If you register for East you get a shirt.

No and No.

What if we register and don't show up... do we still get the shirt? :)

I'd definitely like some PG shirts, polo and tee.

In answer to your query, I believe the following SQL would do it:

Select count(*), size from postgresqlusers
where gender = 'female' or hasFemaleAcquaintance group by size;

If this doesn't work, what version are you using?

Oh....you're running a POLL!  Never mind.
