Thread: azpug@postgresql.org
Hey guys, I was talking with the organizers of AZ Pug today (copied on this email) and they were interested in getting an azpug@postgresql.org list. This is an almost two year old PUG. Can we get them taken care of?

IIRC somebody proposed using airport codes for PUG names to avoid conflicts; that would make it PHXPUG I think, which sounds pretty horrible to me. I admit we don't hear much from Azeri users, so maybe AZPUG is okay? -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

I vote AZPUG.

I >> admit we don't hear much from Azeri users, so maybe AZPUG is okay? Yeah, I think an Azerbaijan user group is unlikely, at best. Mind you, if the list needs modification *anyway*, is there something wrong with using ArizonaPUG@postgresql.org? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

That seems a reasonable compromise.

The ISO code for Arizona is US-AZ; we could do that too. I want something that has gotten at least *some* discussion, thought, and agreement, not the first thing that crosses our minds. It's a name that we're going to be stuck with for a long time, because it's damn hard to change list names. I note none of the guys from AZ have actually said anything. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

If that's no good, I liked "ArizonaPUG@" as a close second. Josh
