Yeah, right. "run" is probably the wrong word. I've changed it to "has" for the moment for the lack of a better phrasing. I don't think we need to explain in such a brochure what the arrangements between the ASF and the producer are. It's "our conference" at any rate. That's what I like to express there. I'll gladly improve further if anyone has a proposal. Thanks, Filip!
Bernd, would you still be available to create a German translation of the brochure? I know it's on short notice by now. You could simply make a copy of http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/asf-brochure-en.xml and I can publish the stylesheets and resources to produce the PDF. Otherwise, I'll give it a try tomorrow or during the weekend.
