All,

I have included a preliminary shot at the Press Release for Geronimo 1.1.  This 
is a draft and needs
your input.

The areas where I think we might need some wordsmithing is the 1.5 support.

Apache Software Foundation Announces Release of
Apache Geronimo Version 1.1

Usability and Configuration Improvements Mean Users Need Less Knowledge
To Configure and Deploy J2EE Applications


(City, State)  June xx, 2006 -- The Apache Software Foundation is pleased to 
announce the release of
Apache Geronimo Version 1.1, a completely open source, high performance 
application server from the
Apache community. The release continues the J2EE certification path led by the 
previous version of
Geronimo, providing a fully compliant and usable J2EE container suitable for 
everything from
development to Enterprise deployments.

Apache Geronimo v1.1 introduces several structural changes improving 
scalability, portability and
overall organization, as well as including new features and functionality.  
Enhancements have been
made to the administration console including memory utilization graphics and 
plugins to improve
usability.  JDK 1.5 support is included, and improvements have been made to the 
innovative
configuration and administration/plug-in architecture.

Whereas the previous version offered a full J2EE configuration, v1.1 includes a 
"Little G"
configuration, a smaller footprint web-oriented version of Geronimo that can be 
scaled up to JMS or
full J2EE using plug-ins as users' needs change.  The addition of Little G 
provides an option for
those who want to use Geronimo for lightweight applications without the 
additional installation
overhead.

On of the main goals of Geronimo is flexibility.  Geronimo should be flexible 
enough to include what
users want and need.  Apache Geronimo already offers a modular architecture 
that makes it easy to
create custom distributions with custom feature sets.  With v1.1, we (the 
Apache Geronimo Team)
looked at users' needs and added even more features to benefit those needs, 
increase functionality,
and extend usability.

The flexible, easy to use, and easy-to-configure app server is built from 
best-of-breed open source
components and is fully licensed under the business-friendly Apache Software 
License offering
multiple benefits to organizations and their development teams. The software is 
available for
download from the Apache Geronimo web site (http://geronimo.apache.org/).
