<BR>
Sean, can you or Jerry Lebay make sure this gets out ASAP through our normal channels? It has already gone through the approval process, been translated, etc.<BR>

Subject: [OSGeo-Board] Press Release to be published on March 6<BR>
<BR>
Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
I have updated the press release again and want to publish it on<BR>
Monday: <A HREF="http://www.fossgis.de/osgeo/index.php/Proposed_Press_Release">http://www.fossgis.de/osgeo/index.php/Proposed_Press_Release</A><BR>
<BR>
TODO:<BR>
- please take a final look<BR>
- WebCom: please put the English version onto the server. Translations<BR>
must be verified first for latest updates, then moved<BR>
- Gary: since the Promotion and Visibility Committee isn't yet fully<BR>
established,<BR>
I would like to ask you to get it through the Autodesk channels by<BR>
6th March<BR>
- DanielB, please prepare for possible slashdotting (personally, I don't<BR>
expect that with this release)<BR>
- myself: I'll post it on Monday, 6th to all addresses I know (see below)<BR>
<BR>
Lessions learned<BR>
- the next press release must go much faster<BR>
- Promotion and Visibility Committee should take care and establish<BR>
the procedure<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>
<BR>
Markus<BR>
