Stéphane and I did the translating (as has been usual for at least a
couple of releases now), thanks. And as the “French Representative” (or
whatever his role is actually named) Stéphane then gave the news to his
press contacts. One of them wanted to interview a french contributor to
the project, and was led to me.

It's pretty clear that we have 2 kinds of french articles available to
cover the news, some of them are talking about PostgreSQL the Open
Source project and some of them are explaining to potential customers
who to contact if they want to use Ora2PG.
The only reason why the french news coverage looks great in the wiki
listing is because both kinds of news are listed as community efforts.
Having both efforts coexist is of course perfectly fine. I just think we
should not mix some companies private marketing with the community
communication, even when the appeal of surfing on the annual big news
item makes them happen at the same time. At least not when trying to
understand how to achieve such a result in other countries.
