Details follow. I'll be doing my supporting promotions from the M&P side. Perhaps you can add it to the events schedule as well? Also, in future, what is the best email address/list/* for me to send such notices to?

I've started to publicize it, starting with a tweet[1], but will follow up on the related dev/user lists too. Would it be possible for the ASF to announce too (and a retweet would be appreciated too)? Is there an "official" calendar this will appear on (cc-ing Sally, master of all things marketing :-) ).
