With regards to general OSGeo communication, I propose that we consider 
doing something similar to the OSGeo-Live project. The OSGeo Live 
process is:

1. Someone drafts up a press release into a press release wiki page
2. Others are given a day or two to review
3. Press release is copied into an email to relevant lists (usually 
osgeo-discuss) and sometimes also copied into blog post(s).


OSGeo-Live press releases are here:
