[Foss4g2010] press release

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Lorzeno, you can also just post it directly as a "news item" in  
www.osgeo.org/node/add - like you have done with the event postings  
in the past.  And then send email of announcement to  
announce at lists.osgeo.org - and I will have a look and approve it to  
be mailed out.
