:D The original idea was that, only rename bapug to arpug.
the same problem is taking place in central america, a problem with the name.
But exist a cuestion: the pugs are created to make an oganization in a
country or
are made for local people to participate with more meetings and contacts?

In the second way,that's becuase we think in 'internal' pugs just for
say 'cordoba's people'
, to encourage more local events and nearly contacts.

unfortunately all these years we were prey to a disruption of many
local issues.

Potentially there are many people interested and working with Postgresql,
and this is what we are trying to seize.
