Looping in Sally, who is our PR/AR/marketing person! Sally, Apache MetaModel just graduated. We're a reasonably small project, but it would be nice to get the word out. At the minimum, a blog post on the ASF blog accompanied with a tweet and a post to the MetaModel dev@ list would be good.
Do you think that a press release is warranted? (Do we always do PRs for graduations?)
