Re: [pgsql-advocacy] Milwaukee User Group

Thanks, Alvaro.

Just for clarity's sake -- the name I'm hoping for is BrewPUB, with a B.

MKEPUG is definitely straight out for us, as it's in use by The Milwaukee
PHP User Group.

BrewPUG is a possibility, but I think it may lead to confusion with the
well establish PHP group in town with a few hundred members.
