Thread: Regional Contacts Wanted
Folks,
For the upcoming 7.4 release, I'd like to have designated regional contacts
from as many places as possible. For those of you who are already
translators, you can be a translator *and* a regional contact, or not, as you
please.
People have already effectively volunteered for the US, Germany, Brazil,
Argentina, Australia, and French-speaking-Europe. We could use help in lots
of other areas.
If you volunteer, your first job will be gathering press contacts from your
country. Other things we'd like you to do, as you have time, are:
PostgreSQL Advocacy Regional Contacts
I. Regional Press
A. Help arrange translation of press releases and other Advocacy
materials
B. Maintain a list of local/regional/language press contacts
C. Answer or forward questions from the local/regional/language press
D. Work with the PostgreSQL "Master of Ceremonies" to staff interviews
in your area
E. Keep up to date on PostgreSQL developments so that you can be
knowlegable for the above, including participating actively
on the pgsql-advocacy list.
II. Community Building
A. Solicit users in your area/language
B. Create and admin a mailing list when you have enough people.
C. When you have even more people, add a web page and/or
start a PostgreSQL user's group.
III. Community Liason
A. Find user's groups, conventions, and other local events and groups
which are related to PostgreSQL
B. Work with the "Master of Ceremonies" to do PostgreSQL outreach
to these groups and events.
Time expected: 5-12 hours per month.

Hi! I can do the jobs in the hungarian areas. If nobody else joins from middle-east europe, I can try the region, but i speak only english and german, so if anybody else joins from slav areas, it is better if they do it.

If the argentinian (or any other spanish speaker contact) writes some material, we will love to post it in our site, http://www.malditainternet.com cya On Wed, 17 Sep 2003 11:54:17 +0200 (CEST) Hornyak Laszlo <kocka@tigrasoft.hu> wrote: > Hi! > > I can do the jobs in the hungarian areas.

All seems ok from here, Turkey.

Oh, I have more than 4000 press contacts in here. It has always been easy
for me to announce new PostgreSQL-related things.
We have a user community in here, but we have difficulty seeing each
other.

The translation effort has gotten somewhat obscure. The translators list has moderator-approved subscribal, and my subscription wasn't approved (why? I am still the only one who has done any work in translating to spanish AFAIK). I wonder if there's someone else working on the spanish translation of the 7.4 press release? -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "The Postgresql hackers have what I call a "NASA space shot" mentality.

Josh is the owner of that list, so needs to approve anyone that tries to subscribe to it ... let him know that you hvae sent in the subscribe request so that he knows to go in and approve it

We have a spanish translation, but I would love to have you on the translators list. For some reason, I did not receive your subscription request notice ... possibly because I tried to set up the list to share admin with Robert. For that matter, I thought I subscribed you myself when I created the list. Will be fixed today or tommorrow. FYI, Christian Kokuri has been doing a some Spanish translation as well, including the press release. I'll e-mail it to you seperately so that you can proof it. The reasons the list is closed are because: a) we've had spam problems on several other lists, and b) at some point we may want to translate something which isn't yet public knowlege. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

No, it's done. What languages do you speak? Did you want to translate it? -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
