Hello Sven and PMC --I've made some minor edits to the press release, and are ready to announce pending Sven's signoff of the tweaks to his quote.
Please forward any final additions or corrections by 6PM ET (UTC -4) on Monday so we can announce on Tuesday morning. Do let me know if we need more time. Has anyone been in touch with Rich regarding Feathercast?
