Re: Welcome Regional Contacts!

Hi,

I've been busy translating psql for the last few days, so I didn't have
a chance to work on the press release yet. It should be ready by Monday,
though.

We are also working on our PostgreSQL website. I'll announce the address
when it's finished - I hope it's in time for 7.4.

Cheers,
Aleksander
