The two avenues people are using are either using the one Meetup provides or having someone on the pg_infra team set one up. Once you have a mailing list, I can add the NC Triangle pug to our community list.Are there community funds available to cover the meetup.com fees? As I recall a meetup.com organizer membership is in the range of $12 a month (which I think allows up to 3 groups).Hmmm. I wonder if we can set up a 2nd group out of the SFPUG account.Fetter?I think it would be better to have PG.US support NC Triangle PUG directly, given the framework that has been put in place to support individual PUGs.OK. Let's get a PG hosted mailing list going. How do we go about setting up the meetup stuff? Just do it and then bill PG.US?Do we provide web space to PUGs?
I gather that the approved way to get a community-hosted mailing list for a PUG is to apply via the -www list. I have set this group up in meetup.com <http://www.meetup.com/Triangle-Postgres-Users-Group>, and would like a mailing list please.
In the interim, I have put up your entry on the site - http://www.postgresql.org/community/user-groups/

Can you suggest a name for the postgresql.org mailing list, and an email address for the owner? Please navigate to http://www.postgresql.org/list/ for existing PUG names -- what's printed is a description, the actual names are the last part of the URLs. "triangle-nc-pug" would be a name, I assume the description would be "Triangle, NC, US". I notice that the community/user-groups/ page lists the Triangle as Raleigh-Durham. Personally I have never seen a triangle with only two vertices. Maybe that's how the imperial unit system defines triangles? (I only joke about this because my favorite online radio station broadcasts from Chapel Hill, but hey, I've never been to NC anyway). -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

Chapel Hill is in fact the third vertex of the Triangle. I also listen to a station out of Chapel Hill (WCPE), both online and in my car ;-) Pretty much everyone who matters (i.e. people in this area) knows what "the Triangle" refers to. The local Linux UG is called TriLug, similarly for the local Ruby Users Group, and so on. I guess your specs would be consistent with the other lists that are there. I can certainly live with what you suggest. Thanks for your help on this. cheers andrew

I created this list several weeks ago, but for some reason forgot to reply in this thread:http://www.postgresql.org/list/triangle-nc-pug/ -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
