Hi Baovola,
congratulations on forming such a vibrant community and a great event!

Thank you for adding the trademark policy and Coc note to the group
description; indeed the group is compliant with PostgreSQL guidelines.
One of the people from the web team will get back to you and add you to the
page.

Should you require financial support from PgUS, you will need to fill out
this form https://forms.gle/8thNK1m6rJSDBELJ8 and once it's considered and
approved we will add you to PgUS user groups. If you have questions about
that feel free to contact PgUS User Group Committee  at ugcomm@postgresql.u=
s or
to email me directly.

Kind regards,
Valeria
