Comment (by jmckenna):

 I'm not sure the benefit of yet another announce list.   A 'foss4g-
 announce' list is actually the OSGeo-discuss list.   Have you considered
 sending all of your FOSS4G 2017 press releases directly to the OSGeo-
 Discuss list?

 For example, a typical workflow is:

  - use the public foss4g2017 mailing list for discussions
  - draft your press releases on the OSGeo wiki (see the many great
 examples of past press releases for FOSS4G 2009 at
 https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Releases)
  - once you have the text and wiki ready, then send your press release to
 'news_item (at) osgeo (dot) org' (that step is described at
 http://www.osgeo.org/content/news/submit_news.html).  That news item will
 be magically posted to osgeo-announce/discuss (an no need of a separate
 announce list)

 Does that make sense?

 I'll also describe this to the foss4g2017 discussion list.  As i said, it
 would be great to have more open discussions with the 2017 marketing
 committee.
