In reponse to Bruce's call for action on his blog, I spent my lunch hour doing
a bit of transcription. Attached patch transcribes the list of Berkely students
and staff who help write Postgres from Dr. Stonebraker's Turing Lecture:

(tentative, google-based) emendations:

s/Chin-heng/Chin-Heng/
s/Jhingren/Jhingran/
s/Boris Livshitz/Boris Livshutz/

Also, those consecutive years: '2015 2014' on the first line are rather
hard to read; a paraphrase would be good.

Thanks,

Hmm, the problem here, is that the patch is an accurate transcription of a
slide in the talk (seen at the timepoint at that URL - no need to scrub at all)

should either add ibid. or edit brackets, or ...?

The first is a case difference/alternate transcription. Stonebraker's list of
publications does support the first two changes.

The last, in particular, is wrong: I find 1993 vintage email threads (on GRASS)
w/ a sigblock:

-Boris Livshitz
Postgres Group
UC-Berkeley, Computer Science

Also, those consecutive years: '2015 2014' on the first line are
rather hard to read; a paraphrase would be good.

Yeah, probably:

delivered June 13, 2015 (amended):

Oh ok, I had forgotten the text was up there in the video.

Fair enough. Then again, I found this:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/livshutz

Seems to be the same person.

I guess it doesn't matter too much.

Re: Earliest Postgres credit patch

*sigh* I editted correctly in the message, but screwed up
the moving the test with the dates in the actual patch. Here's
a better one.
