[Foss4g2009] Re: Academic Track for FOSS4G2009

[Cameron Shorter]

Ok, I've revised the press release, emphasising the academic track, and 
removing words. (Less words = people are more likely to read to the end).

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_14

Harley, and someone from the academic track, could you please review. I 
plan to send this press release out in ~ 9 hours.
