We say "grève" :)

Funny thing is that SNCF and DGAC, the two companies that where on
strike are both PostgreSQL users. There was even 2 employees of SNCF who
skipped the strike to attend the conference :)

I'm in contact with Karim Benabdallah (@karim2k) who is active in
Tunisia at least since 2005. He contacted me last month but I was busy
with the PG Day France at the time. Now that the french conference is
over, I intend get in touch with him and see how PostgreSQLFr can help
them. From the first messages we've exchanged, my understadning is that
TnPUG is back and they're serious about organizing a PG Day in Tunis.

Of course I will keep you updated when things move forward.
