Hi all,

I'd like to start a PostgreSQL User Group in the Orlando / Central Florida
area. I've checked the official PUG page and Meetup.com and don't see an
existing group covering this region, so I'd like to fill that gap.

A bit about me: I've been working with PostgreSQL and enterprise database
migration/performance for many years, most recently focused on
Oracle-to-PostgreSQL and AlloyDB/Spanner work. I'm also involved in the
wider Postgres community =E2=80=94 I'm on the PgDay Boston 2026 Program Com=
mittee
and volunteered at PostgreSQL Summit US 2026 =E2=80=94 so I'm keen to help =
grow the
community locally in Central Florida.

My plan is to set up a Meetup page under the name "Postgres Central Florida
User Group" (to cover Orlando, Clermont, Lakeland, and the Space Coast) and
hold a first meetup with a technical talk, a central venue, and time to
network.

Happy to answer any questions, and I'm looking forward to getting this
going.

Thanks,
Sachin Pawar
