Awesome. :)

This seems like the kind of thing that should go on the PostgreSQL
website's "News" section.  Well, the English translation of it, as
the .org website is English focused.

Also - very minor - there's a typo on the first sentence of the English
page:

  https://www.postgresql.fr/entreprises/english

"... is a dedidacted task force ..." ← dedicated is spelled wrong. ;)

For press release's, it's probably worth fixing though.  First impression
stuff, etc. ;)

Out of curiosity, how much time and effort has it taken to get the French
PostgreSQL Cross-Enterprise Work Group up and running?  Sounds like a lot.
