I read through it and have some possible edits. 1. - Email the list pgsql-advocacy@postgresql.org announcing that you would like to create a user group in your area and note if need funds setting up your meeting.com account. Possibly change this to "if you need funds... " Please consider your local specifics and popular platforms in your geography . change to "in your area" it is successful if the focus is on its audience and the narrower your focus is the better your meetup will run and the stronger community you will create It took me a bit to grok the sentence above. Does this work ? To be successful, focus on the audience. The narrower your focus, the better your meetup will run; resulting in a stronger community Regards, Dave --00000000000028966e05a09447b9 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Sorry, missed this during travel and forgot to circle back.

Certainly +1 to moving it forward. I have a few content tweaks queued up to do, next week likely better to push a bunch of changes through to the website.

I skimmed through the notes -- they look way more organized. I think it
will be a very helpful resource!
