I agree. My understanding of your question about the apparent french
success in reaching out to the press was limited to the community effort
as opposed to the corporate press, and it seems to me that the answer
you got is all about corporate press and throwing corporate money at it.

My aim here was to make it obvious how to separate the two categories so
that any french lesson on this PR effort would be limited to what we did
actually achieve as a community: nothing impressive when compared to the
other countries and organisations.

Well JPA did create the postgresql.fr user group, that's for sure. I
have quite fond memories of authoring the first set of web pages that he
did host on his own server at home at a time where cloud computing was
certainly not a commodity.
