Hi all,
I'm afraid that I won't have any time to do this.
Is there anyone who can ensure that this announcement gets published on
gnome.org/news, please?
I'm not convinced it's newsworthy enough, but we should be giving
exposure to our sponsors somehow - any other ideas for publication are
welcome.
Cheers,
Dave.

Gents,
Can you please ensure something goes out on the GNOME News site tomorrow from
the attached announcements? I won't be able to do anything as I'll be on my
way to Paris :D
Cheers,
Jos

Hi all,
Attached the announcements for the Desktop Summit Sponsorship. As you know,
Intel, Collabora and SUSE will be the main (Platinum and Gold) sponsors, hence
we'd like to let you know that these announcements will go out on the Desktop
Summit press channels on Tuesday, 15:00 UTC.
We'd appreciate it if you would either issue your own or echo these
announcements.
Any input or suggestions are of course welcome.
Greetings,
Jos Poortvliet
& The Desktop Summit Team

<p>Christian Schaller, Marketing Manager at Collabora told us: <em>"At
Collabora we are excited to support the Desktop Summit as we feel it is one of
the core events in terms of moving the open source ecosystem forward. A lot of
open source innovation happens on the desktop first before being widely
deployed on all kinds of systems and devices. As the leader in the fields of
multimedia and real time communications Collabora are very much a part of that
effort. We look forward to meeting up with and engaging with the everyone at
the Desktop Summit."</em></p>
