That's wrong. We just demonstrated the latest testing releases (and of
course we use to have a GNOME related talk which usually focused on
"What you can get in <1 or 2> weeks?". But by moving the release date we
would be able to officially present the new release and avoid the
confusion of the press (which just seems to perceive it wrongly).

OTOH, Cebit will produce lots of IT news, and the GNOME release might be
overlooked when all the big companies make their annoucements.

So, what we would need is NOT a special messeage (I really hope I
interprete the term correctly) but a few reminders and motivators. For
example, we would need to have a GNOME celebrity at the booth to make
the annoucement or be ready for interviews. Stuff like that.

So, in my opinion, if there's a plan by the German team to make the
release at the Cebit a little bit of an event, then changing the
schedule would be good thing.
