I gather that the approved way to get a community-hosted mailing list 
for a PUG is to apply via the -www list. I have set this group up in 
meetup.com <http://www.meetup.com/Triangle-Postgres-Users-Group>, and 
would like a mailing list please.

cheers

Can you suggest a name for the postgresql.org mailing list, and an email
address for the owner?  Please navigate to
http://www.postgresql.org/list/ for existing PUG names -- what's printed
is a description, the actual names are the last part of the URLs.
"triangle-nc-pug" would be a name, I assume the description would be
"Triangle, NC, US".

I notice that the community/user-groups/ page lists the Triangle as
Raleigh-Durham.  Personally I have never seen a triangle with only two
vertices.  Maybe that's how the imperial unit system defines triangles?
(I only joke about this because my favorite online radio station
broadcasts from Chapel Hill, but hey, I've never been to NC anyway).

Chapel Hill is in fact the third vertex of the Triangle. I also listen 
to a station out of Chapel Hill (WCPE), both online and in my car ;-)

Pretty much everyone who matters (i.e. people in this area) knows what 
"the Triangle" refers to. The local Linux UG is called TriLug, similarly 
for the local Ruby Users Group, and so on.

I guess your specs would be consistent with the other lists that are 
there. I can certainly live with what you suggest.

Thanks for your help on this.

cheers

Aye, that's my station too.

I created this list several weeks ago, but for some reason forgot to
reply in this thread:http://www.postgresql.org/list/triangle-nc-pug/
