Preface
Why Are We Writing This Book?
When we at Pivotal decided to open-source the Pivotal Greenplum Database, we decided that an open source software project should have more information than that found in online documentation.

Marshall Presser is the lead author of this book, but many others at Pivotal have contributed content, advice, editing, proofreading, suggestions, topic, and so on. Their names are listed in the Acknowledgments section and, when appropriate, in the sections to which they have written extensively. It might take a village to raise a child, but it turns out that it can take a crowd to source a book.
