Right.

This got cut off but I assume you meant, "as part of the PostgreSQL.Org
infrastructure (or PostgreSQL.Org community)".

That would be correct. PlanetPostgresql, Postgresqldocs,
Postgresqlconference, ITPUG, PostgreSQLFR, PostgreSQL.eu are PostgreSQL
community projects but they are not PostgreSQL.Org projects. Which in
my mind is cool (I know not everyone agrees) because it is a testament
to the strength of our community as a whole.

To look at PostgreSQL as just PostgreSQL.org doesn't do the community
or the project itself justice.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
