[Fwd: Fwd: Tuesday announcement of Desktop Summit sponsors]

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>We are pleased to announce that the Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin will be supported by Intel as Platinum 
sponsor. The event also welcomes Collabora and SUSE as Gold partners. The organization is delighted with the 
community spirit of these generous corporate partners. Mirko Boehm, Lead organizer of the Desktop Summit,

developers from all around the world to work in a collaborative spirit on the next generation desktop 
technology."</em></p>

<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>

<p><em>"SUSE is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of the Desktop Summit 2011,"</em> said Michael Miller, vice 
president of Global Alliances and Marketing at SUSE.<em> ?Cross 
project collaboration is a core value at SUSE and we are committed to wide interoperability and open
