We didn't even discuss 'membership' because we weren't talking about a
user group!! *That's* what I object to paying for - I'd be happy to
pay to join a real user group like PostgreSQLFr.

This of this like the PostgreSQL funds group who handling the global
funding etc. There is no membership - just a bunch of people who all
contribute towards getting the required work done.

Because there would be no point, with it not being a user group!!
Except it has now been suggested that it *could* be a user group in
countries without their own (which I would support).
