[Foss4g2010] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2010 Press Release #6

[Cameron Shorter]

Lluis,
Nice press release, I'll forward on to the LiveDVD community.

One minor suggestion is that you make use of the email title as casual 
users will only read the email if the email title is catchy.

So I suggest "FOSS4G 2010 - Call for Abstracts" or similar for this title.

Also, when sending the press release to community leaders, I suggest you 
ask community leaders to CC you when they forward on the press release.

That way you get feedback on whether the press releases are being 
forwarded on or not. (We learned that late in our cycle for 2009)
