Re: Madagascar PostgreSQL User Groups - Mailing list pgsql-advocacy

Hi Baovola,

Congratulations on your first conference! It sounds like it was very
successful.

I've added MG-PUG to the list of user groups on the website:

https://www.postgresql.org/community/user-groups/

Congrats again and please let us know how the global PostgreSQL
community can continue to support you!
