If June changes for reasons we can't influence, we'd need to correct it in another press release. Otherwise we'd risk much confusion. No need to say how unfortunate this would be. If the board or the orga team really like to get this out, we should mention no date, and write something like "Time and date will be announced later." This is the thruth and not some guess work that may bite us in the back later. The next press release then announces when, and how long GUADEC will be, and maybe what sessions are planned. However, I don't see any need to publish right now. The value of the press release is date and place of the conference; the rest is just background information, anyway. By using 'TBA', we'd loose value, and thus impact. If there are still open questions, we can wait until they are solved; even if it takes the next three months or so. We don't miss any particular chance by not publishing, AFAICS. Cheers, Claus -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
