Обсуждение: MC Triangle PUG
Greetings, During some discussions at Postrgres Open this week, a number of us thought it would be a good idea to start (or is it revive) a PUG for the NC Triangle (that's the Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill area for those of you who don't live here :-) ). I understand that the first thing to kick this off is a note to the advocacy mailing list, which is what I'm doing here. If we get enough momentum, monthly meetings with a speaker and refreshments would be a great goal. A longer term goal might be a conference day - I don't think there is one held in the whole of the SouthEast. If people want to discuss, I'm currently sitting on an irc channel called #trianglepug on Freenode. Offers of resources will be gratefully received, I'm sure. cheers andrew

Doyou already have a mailing list or do you need one created? The two avenues people are using are either using the oneMeetup provides or having someone on the pg_infra team set one up. Once you have a mailing list, I can add the NC Trianglepug to our community list. Thanks, Jonathan

Are there community funds available to cover the meetup.com fees? As I recall a meetup.com organizer membership is in the range of $12 a month (which I think allows up to 3 groups).

I think it would be better to have PG.US support NC Triangle PUG directly, given the framework that has been put in placeto support individual PUGs. Jonathan

I think it would be worth maintaining a page on postgresql.org that links to the meetup pages (or other pages).
How about I submit a diff with that in it to the pgweb repo?On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Josh Berkus <josh@agliodbs.com> wrote:
