In this episode, Steve and Coté talk with Andy Astor of EnterpiseDB.
We discuss what EnterpiseDB does, what it’s like to provide support for open source, and then tackle the question of “what is an open source company?”
All in all, I think it was a nice episode, if I don’t say so myself. Thanks to Andy and his silent buddy Christian ;>
