[Foss4g2010] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] do you already feel as an ambassador for FOSS4G?!?

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Thank you Cameron, you're support is day by day becoming fundamental.

I've not inverted time to animate translators because I don't think it is
important.

A volunteer we are looking for, actually, is a person that could take care
of the difusion of the press releases, checking that all the persons listed
in our document have sent the message to the mailing list they are
responsible for. At the same time he/she could look for new lists to submit
to. It's a task that doesn't take much time but needs precision.
how would you call this task? "press agent"?!??! "press releaser"?!?
:)
is there anybody in this list interested in this role?

joint with Oscar, we have started animating a new local (Barcelona)
community that are already helping a lot with the organization.

ciao
lorenzo
