Guys,

there is nothing to fight over. I answered directly to Josh, because he
asked in his post to contact him. I didn't think I needed to post it to
the list. As per pgsql-eu-general, I'm not reading it, that's why I
missed it there.

Hope that helps.

I'm not in the position to spend any considerable amount of time at the
moment as the contact (after reading the link Josh sent it looks like a
lot of work), but I'm more than happy to help to whoever is (or will be
elected) the contact for Ireland.

Regards,
Alex.
