Thats where most of us are :-(

Thats why in my previous mail (reply to Josh), I tell it is difficult to such
things to be done, because I already know I can't do it alone. And, at the
moment, we are a bit too few to do it. Im currently finding people to rely on
for this project. But, Im sure this will be successfull.

Wow. This is a bit advanced for us. At first we want a non-profit organization
to be planted. We think it is the seed of everything. after that, why not hiring
people in doing some business around PostgreSQL?.. Why/ Why not...??

At this moment, we just want to plant our seed, nothing more. It is already a
huge work, since most of us here have family, children, jobs... Hope you
understand me :-)

Anyway, Thanks a lot for your help proposal, We'll keep you in touch about or
entity etc :)

I think a european organization around PostgreSQL should be based on national
ones. Like the FSF Europe is based on national organizations..

But lets talk about this in the right time, its a bit early.
