Wow man!!!

I was finally elected at the board of directors of the new PostgreSQL Europe Group, and I firmed yesterday the papers.

Those papers are there to settle officially the non-profit association. Its a French law of 1901... So yes, PostgreSQL Europe will run under the French Law. Thats not that important, after all.

The most important thing to me is how much people we will have on our side working with us. At the moment, the pgsql-eu-general mailing list has 73 subscribers... Thats really few, and I hope many others will join and participate in this huge effort!

I started to contact spanish guys on the pgsql-es-ayuda mailing list. Since I speak and write spanish, I had to do it :-)

Speaking of this, I met Francisco Morosini, the leader of the Peruvian PostgreSQL Group, by mail first. Then on the spanish PostgreSQL IRC, we both understood who we were talking with. That was quite funny. We were talking "officially" by e-mails for about 2 hours, and also on the IRC, but quite anonymously, then we understand each other we were the same:

<jpa> de donde eres tu ?
<catsapiens> de Peru
<catsapiens> y tu jpa ?
<jpa> de Francia :)
<jpa> estas tu Francisco Javier ?
<catsapiens> Jean Paul Argudo?
<jpa> si
<jpa>  /whois
<catsapiens> man
<catsapiens> yo soy Francisco Javier Morosini
<jpa> jajaja
<jpa> excellente

Sometimes life is good and brings funny things ;-)
