Ok, cool. The website is queued. The press release needs some more info IMO to be newsworthy. It needs some follow-up from what happened from 2009, with links like we already have and also a bit more info on what is going to happen showing the excitement for 2010 along with possible projects that get people excited!
Brussels team, could you add a bit more to the release? Also, I wonder if we might tempt our master wordsmith Nathan to take a pass at the release. I think this will take a few days to get, so we can release on monday brussels time, good? The website news looks pretty good. Good stab at this.
