There is nothing Wrong. :) Is better, there are more people from another states and we don't like to left them out! It will be more representative for all. 2008/11/11 Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com>: > Guido Barosio escribió: >> Dear all, >> >> We are about to have the first PG Day @ Argentina, and I was after >> the idea of creating a country group, chances to get this? > > Huh, what's wrong with bapug? > > -- > Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ > PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support > > -- > Sent via pgsql-www mailing list (pgsql-www@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-www > -- Emanuel Calvo Franco Syscope Postgresql DBA BaPUG / AOSUG Member
Let's create a mailing list, and make Guido the owner: arpug - Argentina PostgreSQL Users Group Guido Barosio <gbarosio@gmail.com> Who is the owner of bapug? I don't see any archives for that list. Has there been any traffic on it?

Not yet Selena. We generally use pgsql-es-ayuda list... but, after the PGday we think it will be more active. In other hand, we create an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net for Arpug. We need a time, but there's people who is interest on it. In fact, there are mini-pugs that are growing in the other states (cordoba, corrientes) but they need gow up to converts in a really pugs, that's because we promote the idea to create an Arpug. 2008/11/14 Selena Deckelmann <selenamarie@gmail.com>: > Let's create a mailing list, and make Guido the owner: > > arpug - Argentina PostgreSQL Users Group > Guido Barosio <gbarosio@gmail.com> > > Who is the owner of bapug?

Ok, thanks for the update! That's exciting that you're seeing interest in other states. Meantime, those watching -- please create the Argentina-wide mailing list :) -selena -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily

If it's going to start growing after PGDay, then maybe it makes sense to way until after PGDay to create the list(s). As a completely different topic, I told Selena some time ago that the current naming scheme for PUGs does not scale. If we get a Cordoba PUG, will it be copug? And if we get a Corrientes PUG, what will we name it? corpug? If we ever get a Colombia PUG, what will we use? I suggest that maybe XXpug should be reserved for country codes (so "bapug" and others are already misnomers; it's fortunate that the bapug list has not had any traffic yet. Can we rename bapug to arpug?) *mumble* ISO 3166-2 *mumble* -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Can we rename bapug to arpug?) > *mumble* ISO 3166-2 *mumble* :D The original idea was that, only rename bapug to arpug. the same problem is taking place in central america, a problem with the name. But exist a cuestion: the pugs are created to make an oganization in a country or are made for local people to participate with more meetings and contacts? In the second way,that's becuase we think in 'internal' pugs just for say 'cordoba's people' , to encourage more local events and nearly contacts. unfortunately all these years we were prey to a disruption of many local issues. Potentially there are many people interested and working with Postgresql, and this is what we are trying to seize. > > -- > Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ > The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. > -- Emanuel Calvo Franco Syscope Postgresql DBA BaPUG / AOSUG Member

I considered that premature optimization. ;) > I suggest that maybe XXpug should be reserved for country codes (so > "bapug" and others are already misnomers; it's fortunate that the bapug > list has not had any traffic yet. Can we rename bapug to arpug?) > *mumble* ISO 3166-2 *mumble* That's fine with me. And easier. From here on out, non-country pugs will have to have at least 3 characters in their abbreviation! I'll handle the issue with BWPUG (ISO 3166-2 assigns BW to Botswana), if/when it comes up. I still like having the messy naming for the rest of the groups. There's no one standard that's going to address regional, state, province and municipality all at once. I realize it makes it harder to find some of the specific groups, but I think that issue be solved by some tagging and better organization on the PUGs site. -selena -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily

The primary definition of a PUG is that it is a group of people who meet and talk about PostgreSQL. I encourage PUGs to meet monthly, to drink beer (or something non-alcoholic) and eat together, and to advertise themselves with a mailing list and a website so when people are traveling through they can be the PostgreSQL Welcome Wagon! :) Each PUG, however, has it's own mission and goals. And obviously, the larger groups can't meet that often. But I think it is legitimate to create a PUG mailing list even if a group only meets once a year. So, a PgDay qualifies a group for a list. > In the second way,that's becuase we think in 'internal' pugs just for > say 'cordoba's people' > , to encourage more local events and nearly contacts. I think that if Cordoba would like a separate list, they are welcome to it. They just need get a few people together and have meetings. -selena -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily

The Argentina PUG should probably be named "arpug", but I wonder if the question is what are you going to name provincial PUGs.

We spoke about a regional (LATAM) organization, with country driven organizations. We pretend to attack universities and free software events, therefore a country wide movement makes, IMHO, more sense. gb.- On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 1:35 PM, Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> wrote: > Guido Barosio escribió: >> Any update on this?
