Thread: Charlotte, NC PUG
Hello,
My name is Boyan Botev and I am interested in starting a Postgres User Group in Charlotte, NC. I would like to have more speakers of the caliber of Bruce Momjian (who presented to my company recently), Robert Haas and other Postgresql gurus be able to visit Charlotte to present and educate the local Postgres community and I was told a PUG is the answer. It would also be a good opportunity to meet with other like minded Postgres users who may be around here. Charlotte has a big airport hub and is easy to travel to and from. I hope this is the right place for this request.
Thanks,
Boyan Botev

Generally folks kick this off by starting a Meetup.com group, unless there's another scheduling platform which is popular in your area. If you want financial help with the meetup subscription, it's usually available. My advice is to get the meetup account, find a speaker, find a venue, schedule them, and then broadcast the information about the first meeting here, on pgsql-general, and on PostgreSQL News and events. That'll get the word out. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
