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
