When we sent out the 7.4 release, you said that you didn't know any Russian
Tech reporters, didn't have anyone to send it to, and didn't translate the
release.

Nick, on the other hand, does know some reporters, wants to send it out, and
is already translating the release.

Oleg, "companies" are not PostgreSQL community contacts. Individual people
are.

The purpose of the Regional Contact is:
1) to collect a list of press contacts in that language and send the release
to them;
2) to answer questions from press in that language;
3) to answer questions from the public, via webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org and
otherwise, in their language.

Nobody is getting paid to do this.
