Re: Postgres and PostGIS training

People,

I would be interested in going to some talks but eg I am not interested
in an Oracle migration talk. I could set up another Meetup group (on my
account) for six months as a test - if someone else was prepared to be
the main "organiser" - a Meetup group might reach a wider PG audience
than this list has?

Regards,

Phil.
