Paul *is* a WS PMC Member. I'd be happy to generate a quote too :) [should it be with or without mentioning my WSO2 affiliation?]

Oops... forgot this (in parallel looking at the Axis2/C release. You are mentioned as a committer on the project. I think an "announcer" should be more than just a committer. The ASF released the s/w and that is a function of the PMC. So the "we" must refer to the PMC. As such, it should come from someone who is a member of the PMC or, even better, the PMC chair.
