The PostgreSQL community mourns Simon Riggs

The PostgreSQL community is dealing with the loss of Simon Riggs, who
passed away on March 26:

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.
