[Foss4g2009] Re: Community Leaders: FOSS4G abstracts about to be announced

[Cameron Shorter]

foss4g community,
Could you all please help Simon and Harley check that community leaders 
have sent out the press releases, as per: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_Process#Day_or_2_after_release

I don't expect that we should check up on all of them (we have an 
amazing marketing pipeline of a few hundred community leaders who we ask 
to forward press releases on for us), but we should chase as many as we 
can, and in particular focus on the high value ones.

Once you have confirmed that someone has posted, update their row in 
contacts list with a "Yes".
Contact list is at: 
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pu9014gybzrd1M6FqyOzGWg&hl=en_GB

Antti, could you please confirm the Media contacts. ~ 7 of them.

Ross, Bruce, and others based in Australia, could you please confirm the 
Regional contacts. ~ 17 of them.

Tyler, Paul, Jeff McKenna, could we please tap into some of your 
celebrity status to confirm that the international projects with lots of 
subscribers have sent a message out. (The OSGeoListNumbers spreadsheet 
ranks the lists by number of subscribers) There is ~ 100 on this list, 
so if anyone can help on this list, please do. And I don't expect to get 
to the bottom of it.
