[Foss4g2009] Please translate the upcoming FOSS4G call for registration press release

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo international community leaders and translators,

On Monday 4 May, next week, we will be announcing that registration is 
Open for the FOSS4G conference.

Delegates who came to the FOSS4G conference heard about it:

    * 36% from a colleague
    * 26% from a weblink
    * 20% from a previous conference
    * 10% from email
    * 7% other
    * 1% from a paper mailout

In order to promote FOSS4G as widely as possible, we are again asking 
for help from our international OSGeo community to help translate the 
press release in order to attract an international community to FOSS4G. 
We are looking to promote FOSS4G to the region by having specific 
conference threads addressing language and regional specific issues, and 
to demonstrate this commitment by personalising the message into local 
languages.

Next Monday, I encourage you to forward your translated press release to 
your local email lists and contacts, invite work associates to the 
conference, include the FOSS4G logo in your website.

The press release has been copied to: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_11_Translations

To make translation easier, we have highlighted the changed text in red 
font. This font doesn't need to be copied into the final text.

Note: The URL for registrations has not been released yet, and we are 
using http://2009.foss4g.org as a place-marker for the moment. We will 
update the URL in the translations at the end of the week.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Cameron Shorter, FOSS4G Organising Committee chair.
