Interested in helping out with a UK User Group or UK advocacy for PostgreSQL? Then please contact me at uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx After much discussion about User Groups over last 18 months, its time to get even more active in the UK. Initially, we'd like to recruit a few people to assist with the organising of local PostgreSQL events throughout the UK. There are a number of commercial companies wanting to sponsor events, but not enough people to actually organise and advocate open source PostgreSQL. We're holding a planning meeting at 8pm on Monday 3rd December. The initial venue is planned to be near Oxford railway station, though we may consider moving it to a more convenient location for all of the volunteers. The meeting might also become a virtual one, if that's the best way. So far we have Dave Page and myself as volunteers... we know many other people in the UK have been involved in the past and are active in the community, but I don't want to assume that they are interested in helping with organisation and advocacy. If you'd been thinking about getting involved, now is your chance. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
