Gabrielle has been using Postgres since sometime in the version 7s and thinks that the best part of using Open Source software is the culture of sharing knowledge. She co-leads PDXPUG, the Portland PostgreSQL Users' Group. Gabrielle's current areas of interest are monitoring, benchmarking, and writing freaky SQL. When she’s not tinkering with networks or databases, she enjoys crashing her mountain bike & practicing parade formations with the PostgreSQL Army of Smurfs.
