Valeria,

Great work! Thanks for doing this. I read through it and have some
possible edits.

1.
- Email the list pgsql-advocacy(at)postgresql(dot)org announcing that you
would like to create a user group in your area and note if need funds
setting up your meeting.com account.

Possibly change this to "if you need funds... "

Please consider your local specifics and popular platforms in your geography
.
change to "in your area"

it is successful if the focus is on its audience and the narrower your
focus is the better your meetup will run and the stronger community you
will create

It took me a bit to grok the sentence above. Does this work ?

To be successful, focus on the audience. The narrower your focus, the
better your meetup will run; resulting in a stronger community

Regards,

Dave
