Hi Ben, I corrected the typo in this article. Yes, "501" not "506"
It is the 501(c)(6) status in the case of the OpenStack Foundation, which mirrors others like the Linux Foundation as you note, which the IRS initially denied. Some others (like the Yorba case a couple of years ago) were 501(c)(3).
I haven't used the Postgres export feature before, because CSV snapshots are usually "good enough" for the level of additional data analysis I do. I have to admit, personally, I have an embarrassing amount of data analysis taking place in interdependent spreadsheets. I say it's partially because I appreciate being able to see the code and data in the same place, but more realistically, it's because most of the things I want to look at are pretty ad hoc at first, and then I realize I kind of want to keep the view.
I used Postgres a good bit in grad school (mostly for the PostGIS extensions), it's probably worth taking a look; it seems like more consistent solution than rsync / cloud storage for making the data accessible across multiple machines.
