[UFO Chicago] Quick question from a beginner

[Carl Karsten]

Tell us more about:
reports against the PostgreSQL

I would recommend getting involved (free) with PS1.  There are a bunch
of us who can help you with this, there is a place, and there are all
sorts of other things going on.

3519 N Elston 60618

Join the mail list and #pumpingstationone on freenode.

http://pumpingstationone.org/2012/05/learn-programming-with-python-office-hours/
When: First and Third Thursdays of each month, 7pm, starting May 17
So the next one is July 5 - but ask your same quesiton on the PS1 list
and very likely someone will invite you down much sooner.

I would also recommend looking at  http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
