Yep. I think I mentioned the word 'projects' too, which was a short-term
including several things:

1) PostgreSQL core code
2) PostgreSQL related applications
3) Localisation (we know lots of people help translating PostgreSQL
parts, but a unified task force would be much better - I would love for
instance to get in touch with Giuseppe and ask him to join the
association). A localisation task force, with the same members
contributing for the projects will be still responsibile for that
project, could help us reach uniformity and standard rules /
methodologies. Also, at the moment, we do not have an Italian PostgreSQL
manual and we already started up something during PGDay.

As I said, the association is everyone's. Everyone can make proposals
and participate. The current board of directors is working hard to give
the directions, and members to help starting them up. Personally I hope
that other people, in a year or so, will be able to take my place and
continue to help the association reach its goals. :)

Thank you.

Ciao,
