Thanks for replying Selena.  I think I understand what the content
creation is for then; for organisers to communicate to their
respective groups.

As much as I'd like meetings to take place, I'm not confident enough
to organise them at this stage as I'm not at all familiar with how
these groups work, and I don't mean only a PostgreSQL user group.  My
first physical step into the community will be at PGDay in Paris in a
few weeks, so things may change after that.

Am I to understand that there are no UK meetings of any kind at the
moment?  I've only really heard of Dave Page and Simon Riggs, and I
don't get much sense of a community here in the UK due to lack of
members.

On a related note, what generally takes place at other meetings, and
what form do they take?  Yes, I really don't know :)
