Press Release to be published on March 6

[Markus Neteler]

Good idea - it depends on Jason now how has kindly moved
it to the osgeo.org Web site. Since it is not yet linked to the main
page, let's try.
Please notify me, I'll hold the posting to the channels I know
till then.

I have no idea if I could make the change myself at
 https://www.osgeo.org/content/news/news_archive/open_source_geospatial_foundation_initial_press_release.html

The only (admittedly minor) change I would suggest (too late now?) would be to change "the next annual meeting of the foundation membership" to something like "the next annual meeting of the foundation membership at FOSS4G [link] this fall".  Gives people a timeline they can relate to and gives a quick plug for the event.
