I don't know that this is a good idea. There's already been "pgDays" in
Brazil, Prague, China, Argentina and the US. I don't think it really
benefits the community to suddenly declare pgDay.IT to be the only one
and force all the other mini-conferences to seek new names. That seems
hostile and controlling.
For that matter, I haven't heard Gabriele or Federico complain about the
use of the name.
I think exercising some belated brand control over the name pgDay might
be apt ... that is, we might want to declare that the name "pgDay" is
only to be used for non-profit, local community-run conferences, and
only allow pgDay.org to list conferences which qualify this way.
But the PostgreSQL has never been about telling people *how* to
participate in the community. We shouldn't start now.
