Thanks for this !

Please note that the PostgreSQLFr association is the "french speaking"
user group. Albeit most of the PostgreSQLFr members live in France, we
have contacts in Belgium, Switzerland and we're looking forward
opportunities in Quebec and North/West Africa.

Would it be possible to replace "France" by "France and French speaking
countries" ?

Please also note that we have a twitter account here :

Is that a user group at all? It's more like an administrative umbrella
for doing things when money is involved. Given the current state of
things around that entity in France, I'd like that this entity remains
hidden in the background and only there to provide with facilities when
some are needed.

Yes, a PostgreSQL User Group in France would be awesome, and I'd like to
participate into building one, organizing meetups, (monthly?)
mini-conferences for the evening, etc, much as what other PUGs are
doing.

No, PostgreSQL FR is not doing any of that.

Can we expand that idea to a general Pg user group wish list? I wish there were one in the UK, and I would even
considerhelping to organise it, depending on the location. There are quite a few users / developers here, and a number
ofmajor organisations such as OpenStreetMap.

It depends on your definition of "PUG" :)

If it's a group of PostgreSQL users doing things together to promote
PostgreSQL, then I guess the PostgreSQLFr association can be treated as
a PUG.

The main differences with most other PUGs are that we have a legal
entity and we operate at higher level than just a city or a country.

What do you mean by "current state of things" ?

I'd love to see local PUGs blooming in Paris, Lyon, Bruxelles, Montreal,
etc. And I'm sure the PostgreSQLFr association would support any local
group in the French speaking area.

Speaking of Paris, there's been multiple public Postgres user gatherings
since 2009 at least. To my knowledge the last meet-up in Paris was last
September organized by Christophe Chauvet and others. The PostgreSQLFr
association paid the meal and drinks for all attendees.

If you want to organize a meet-up, a mini-conference or
what-other-PUGs-are-doing, you're more than welcome. The PostgreSQLFr
association will help you too. You can set up a web page or a list and
call that a "Paris PUG" :)

But for now  there's no specific website or mailing list for it : the
meet-ups are organized through www.postgresql.fr and pgsql-fr-general.
So I see no reason why we should remove these links from the user group
page.

Regards,

The page is to promote "local user groups" which would be groups primarily accessible in whatever locale they are.  The
aimis to drive a more active participating PostgreSQL community by enabling organic growth in particular regions and
citiesthrough meetups, activities, etc.  Probably a good measure of local activity would be having at least one meetup
orconference per year. 

This where PG.FR is interesting - it straddles both being a local user group while having a  more global reach based on
acommon language.  With that said, I would recommend to leave the listing as is, until more local groups start up in
France,but would add a listing to other countries that have a PG.FR representative there so people are aware that they
couldcontact / join PG.FR for more a more localized community.  That way we know that there are regional contacts
acrossthe space that PG.FR covers. 

Best,

Jonathan

Well, the forum is not Spain either.  In fact if you see the "events"
forum, there are several announcements, all but one of them are at the
wrong side of the Atlantic: http://www.postgresql.org.es/forum/13
