IMO, as written this lacks the pizzazz to be a PR... Tart
it up a bit :)

Apache Software Foundation Announces Release Of Apache Geronimo
Version 2.0
date/time/pre-amble -- The Apache Software Foundation is pleased
to announce the release of Apache Geronimo Version 2.0, an open
source Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 application server from the
Apache Geronimo project. This release continues the evolution of
the Apache Geronimo server, adding new features and capabilities to
a fully compliant Java Enterprise Edition container suitable for
everything from development to enterprise deployments.
Along with many new features, Apache Geronimo Version 2.0
introduces several options for clustering and simplified
deployment. Developers can quickly take advantage of the
streamlined development options provided with Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0. These include EJB 3.0 persistence as well as new
programming model changes that use annotations to express developer
defaults right in the source code. The configuration and
management console has also been upgraded with several usability
improvements such as a JNDI viewer and JMX browser.
The project continues to make available its assembly called "Little
G" Version 2.0, a lightweight application server for applications
that don't need the full feature set of Java Enterprise Edition
5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA deployments, "Little G" brings
the modularity, manageability and extensibility of Apache Geronimo
to a lightweight, non-Java Enterprise Edition footprint.
This flexible, easy-to-use, and easy-to-configure application
server is built from best-of-breed open source components and is
fully licensed under the Apache Software License, offering multiple
benefits to organizations and their development teams. The software
is available now for free download from the Apache Geronimo web
site (http://geronimo.apache.org/).
