Thread: policy question
Is our policy regarding what is acceptable for pgsql-announce published anywhere? Or for that matter News/Events/Training? More concretely, I am planning a PostgreSQL related Training, and would like to get it: 1) posted on Announce 2) placed into the list of Training events Is #1 allowed, how do I accomplish #2, and what are the constraints for each? And final question -- is this even the appropriate list to ask such questions? ;-) Thanks, Joe

In general, #1 is not allowed I think but frankly, I don't know - I don't moderate that one :-) #2 definitely allowed.

Joe, I think that posting that your organization is offering a new PG related set of services is within the realm of acceptable; but I suspect that announcing individual events is not. -- Chander Ganesan Open Technology Group, Inc.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. Does anyone else disagree with that? No one has answered my initial question though -- do we have any policies documented somewhere? Joe
> Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. Does anyone else disagree with that? Nope. That's in accord with our general policies. So if Credativ is offering trainings in the US for the very first time, then it's permissable to post that, but not individual courses. > No one has answered my initial question though -- do we have any > policies documented somewhere? http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/NewsEventsApproval -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com
