Re: Training approval policy on pg.org

It's not a false problem. That policy was created in specific response to a specific problem from a company which (as far as I know) still exists and will return to abusing our system if we let them.

What I meant is that the limitation is probably worse than that particular abuse. Also, Magnus confirms that after that, the way events are shown has been changed.

I'd agree to limit invasive submissions (such as emails and home page communications), but frankly I still believe that the current limitation is obsolete and probably also damaging.

However, in case you probably missed that part in my email, I came with a proposal of 10 courses per month per organisation. A high number, but still a upper limit.

We probably want a new policy, but it needs to be one which does not
allow casual abuse.

In Italy there is a saying: "Fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno" ( every law has a loophole). I think we are better off using our time and energy in positive activities, and helping healthy, dynamic and active companies promote Postgres through training.

Also, who is willing to go and check if an event is really an abuse? How would you judge that?

Thank you.

Ciao,
Gabriele
