[chat] references to open-source papers

[Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I am writing my CS engineering final project on Postgres and I'm looking
for some open source references on journals or some other formal
scientific writing.  I saw Michael Kraus asking this very same question
six months ago on this list (found by Google) and I wondered if he every
managed to recollect some info.  I emailed him to the address in the
archive, but the mail bounced back.

I already have quite a lot of references to web pages, but I wonder if
someone has published that in some formal publication.

I'm actually participating in the development of PostgreSQL, and I want
to document that process.  But given that open source here in Chile is
not very well developed (and in the academia much worse), I need to
write a general introduction to open source and such.

Actually I'm not a member of SLUG and probably will never be.  However
in local sources I haven't been able to locate too much.

Thank you and sorry for abusing your resources ;-) ,
