The PostgreSQL Magazine project is back with an original concept named
**The Paper Elephant** : a folded newspaper with a dynamic look & feel.
As always the content comes directly from the community ! In this first
issue, we gathered articles from key members of the PostgreSQL project:
Josh Berkus talks about the new version numbering scheme, Hans-Jürgen
Schönig writes about performance and Craig Kierstens an overview of
JSON, JSONB and hstore. You'll also find an interview of Paul Ramsey
from the PostGIS project.
The Paper Elephant is an independent media edited by and for the
PostgreSQL Community.
This issue was created with the financial help of PostgreSQL Europe and
many benevolent contributors ( witers, editors, reviewers ). Kudos to
all of them.
Just like the name says, The Paper Elephant is a "paper first" media: it
is designed to be printed out and distributed during events
(conferences, meetups, etc.) to promote PostgreSQL.
The first edition will be available at [PostgreSQL Conference Europe
2016](https://2016.pgconf.eu), [Paris Open Source Summit
2016](http://www.opensourcesummit.paris/) and [FOSDEM
2017](https://fosdem.org/).
