Thread: Do we accept Portuguese events for the home page?
All, We've just had a bunch of training events submitted in Portuguese. These are legitimate training sessions, but what's our policy on accepting events in non-English languages? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com

I /would/ like to have a policy that only someone familiar with the language in question do the approving (or sign off on it here), so we know exactly what we are approving. Other than that, the language should not be a factor: approve by default if Postgres-related and meets the normal guidelines. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200904141033 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAknknzgACgkQvJuQZxSWSsjxYgCgzRLUvB70smKBu+wJr/z+QR3W 1zEAoKT1NgW1PClPLB9wdCAuKyy1QaCz =Vlr0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
