I looked at this page and it looks more like a sales portal than a user group community page. While it does contain some compelling facts about PostgreSQL and has some very good reasons to use it, there are a few things that do not appear to adhere to the spirit of the community:
* It is unclear that this is a site for IDPUG - IDPUG is not even mentioned until the footer of the page, which takes awhile to scroll to
* There is very strong marketing copy at the bottom soliciting user info to connect to a sales team, i.e. “Get a quotation”
I’m happy for someone to chime in and disagree with me, but I would not feel comfortable linking to this website from .org
Best,
Jonathan
