Hi,
I was recently attending the Postgres Open 2013 conference in Chicago and was speaking to some people who are from Toronto like myself (Steve Singer and Brad Nicholson). We noted that there isn't a PUG in Toronto.
We would like to start the Toronto Postgres Users' Group with the first meeting starting in January, 2014.
Could you please let us know what we will need to do to become an officially recognized PUG?
There is no "official process" per se - but if you would like to be listed here (
http://www.postgresql.org/community/user-groups/) we just need a link to either your homepage (e.g. on
meetup.com) and/or mailing list. If you want a @postgresql.org mailing list, you can ask one of the admins on -www to set one up.
Meetup.com also provides mailing lists too.
You may want to consider a different name than TPUG as there are already a bunch of cities / areas that begin with "T" - maybe TORPUG? Of course, if the other Toronto tech user groups tend to be "T"-something, it should be fine.
