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.
Regards and best wishes,
