[OSGeo-Board] Press Release to be published on March 6

[Gary Lang]

This looks great. I found only one grammatical error and corrected it. 

Sean, can you or Jerry Lebay make sure this gets out ASAP through our normal channels? It has already gone through the approval process, been translated, etc.

Subject:	[OSGeo-Board] Press Release to be published on March 6

Hi all,

I have updated the press release again and want to publish it on
Monday: http://www.fossgis.de/osgeo/index.php/Proposed_Press_Release

TODO:
- please take a final look
- WebCom: please put the English version onto the server. Translations
                 must be verified first for latest updates, then moved
- Gary: since the Promotion and Visibility Committee isn't yet fully
established,
           I would like to ask you to get it through the Autodesk channels by
           6th March
- DanielB, please prepare for possible slashdotting (personally, I don't
           expect that with this release)
- myself: I'll post it on Monday, 6th to all addresses I know (see below)

Lessions learned
- the next press release must go much faster
- Promotion and Visibility Committee should take care and establish
  the procedure

Cheers

 Markus
