Thread: New Zealanders?
Hello! Are there any New Zealanders here on the list interested in helping with the NZ users group? Brenda is leading this effort, and organizing an incredible number of events right now -- can you lend a hand? Looking for organizers and speakers... -selena -- Selena Deckelmann United States PostgreSQL Association - http://www.postgresql.us PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily
Thanks Selena! :-) Doesn't need much technical knowledge to help here - It needs the group to be run. The tasks of running a pug are: set the date/time booking rooms (in company boardrooms or a bar or a restaurant or wherever) badgering the techies to speak setting/suggesting topics/themes to help nudge people to speak collect RSVPs so we know how many kegs of beer to provide maintaining the website with event details I'm happy to do this, but admit i'm falling behind. I was outta action for about 4 weeks and have no-one currently to pick up the slack during this time, so the May meeting has been cancelled. Next meeting is June.

Is Mark Kirkwood helping out at all? Keep in mind that most PUGs depend on 1 or 2 organizers. The only reason why SFPUG and PDXPUG have been able to have consistent monthly meetings is that we have multiple organizers, but that's rare. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
