Meetup.com-hosted websites often have redirection problems. Using Meetup
for organization is fine, but please don't rely on Meetup for any web
content. Likewise, their mailing list options are lame, don't use those.

Add SeaPUG events to SeattleTechCalendar.

Use of Postgres in some cloud solutions? There are about half a dozen
local cloud-centric user groups/meetups, where Postgres could have an intro.

There's two active Hadoop/NoSQL groups in the area. Showing how to
migrate data to/from SQL via Postgres might be useful for some users of
these groups.

There are a lot of startups in the area, and multiple startup groups
(Seattle Tech Startups is probably the largest). Frugal entrepreneurs
that can't afford a lot of commercial software with their startup costs,
and many don't know anything but SQL Server, so Postgres would be
welcome for some. Perhaps some "Migrating from SQL Server..." or
"Upgrading from MySQL..." talk would be helpful.
