Thread: Regional Press Contacts, Press Page Locations for 8.0
Folks, Several of you have already contacted me to volunteer as regional press contacts for 8.0. Before I finalize the list and send contact instructions, I wanted to make sure we have all regions covered where we have someone (list follows). Secondly, I'd like to see some discussion for each region/language which has a web site whether you want to put the press page in your language up on the main postgresql site (www.postgresql.org) or whether you want it on your web site. Here I'm thinking of: Poland, France, Russia, Sweden, Japan, Brazil, the Spanish website, and German. Oddly, we seem to have Czech web site but no volunteer Czech translator :-( I tend to think that putting it on the regional web sites makes more sense, though it would be administratively harder ... -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

I think we should plan to put them all on the main www website, and then
inform the regional sites that they can copy them to thier site (as opposed
to just linking to it) but that they are responsible for the specifics of
that.

Actaully, my technical French is sufficiently bad that it would
probably be harmful to our cause. And I'm not sure there'd be much
advantage anglo-only. If anyone thinks differently, though, let me
know.

Well, I'm not sure abour my proposal (if it's well fitted to the needs).
Maybe you could redirect your french traffic to us, if François and
you agree. The best is to have a QC/francophone contact on your atlantic
side. If you don't, I have a friend of mine in Montreal that could
eventually be a contact (I will send him a mail to know this). Local
contact will add credibility to our project (IMHO).
Let us (François and I) know your decision.
Cheers

Hi, As far as the translation is concerned, I suppose the translation we are doing with the French/Swiss/Belgian community is certainly good enough for Quebec, barring some colloquialisms. However, we have no one with press contacts in Quebec, so that could be useful I guess. Cheers.
