Hi,
I was looking for a PG user group around KL. I know there is one in
Singapore. As it happens, Chris Travers, the PG contact for Malaysia is
a friend of mine. So, I asked him. He wasn't aware of one either.
However, he very much appreciated the idea of founding one. I know there
are lots of PG users in the area.
But is there enough demand for a user group? If you are interested,
please contact me.
My idea behind this whole thing is to eventually have a regular PG
conference South East Asia.
I picked it up a little late. (blame it on my travel)
We did a pgDay Asia in Singapore, last year and we would be doing another one next year.
We have a User Group in Singapore and the next meetup is planned on 18th Aug. Here is a link: http://www.meetup.com/PUGS-Postgres-Users-Group-Singapore/events/232683291/
We can do a meetup in Malaysia (register a new group or use the same one).
Let me know when you are in KL and we would liaise to see how we can host a meetup there. I can come down (and also tap on my employer's channels to promote this meetup group).
If you have already setup a meetup group, I would like to be a part of it.
I have been to PGconf.eu several times and I
know from experience that it is a great opportunity to learn new stuff,
meet people and also have much fun. I think esp. Malaysia is a good
place for such an event. There are many people out there that could
never come to PGconf.eu or similar in the US and in many other places
because of their passport. Getting a visa to Malaysia is possible for
almost everyone. I don't know about North Korea, but there are many
Iranians around here.
About myself, I am German, currently traveling back and forth between
Germany and Malaysia.
