[Foss4g2009] Demo Theatre email - require sponsors list

[Cameron Shorter]

Jody, we have a private sponsors and potential sponsors list which I 
will make available to you.

Could you please hold off on this press release until next week.
I'd like to wrap it up with an announcement about Poster Sessions, 
Installfest, etc
