Hi Kostas,
First of all, sorry for the delay in my answer, I was really busy at
work, and I missed your post on advocacy...
Second, kudos to you there!! It is each time a pleasure to see
volunteers helping the project to be better known ;)

Thats still a big question, how PG user groups|associations|non-profit
may grab money, and from who, and how... I think PostgreSQL Europe group
will provide you solutions on this. We still haven't decided anything at
PostgreSQLFr about this.
At the moment the rule is "do what you can, how you can" and "nice if it
works for you"...
Just a hint tough: is there any greek PostgreSQL Company around you may
ask for support?

I'd be glad if we could already. And I'll be proud when we will be able
to do so.

Yep, we're poor at the moment. Hope we'll find ways to finance a local
(europe) support to PUGs too.
We're still fighting to have postgresql.eu up and running. Seems there
are some red tape problems. Magnus may give more info, if needed on this.

Yes it won't be long now I think.

We have some nice promotional material at PostgreSQLFr now. What would
you need Kostas?
First, you could check our SVN there (every content free of
use/reuse/adapt):
http://svn.postgresqlfr.org/browser/materials/advocacy/trunk
I doubt you'd need PostgreSQLFr goodies, right? If so tell me what,
we'll see if we can help you?
Cheers,
