Re: Draft for review: press event invite

["Barbara Heffner" <bheffner chenpr com>]

Miguel - Are you comfortable with Maciej's suggestion below that we go back 
to saying the GNOME Steering Committee?

If I recall correctly, on the initial conference call, we discussed who was 
making this announcement.  I think we concluded the press release will 
start out:  The GNOME Steering Committee today announced the formation of 
the GNOME Foundation....

So I was trying to parallel that.  It doesn't make a great deal of 
difference either way for the email invites, but Greg will need to know for 
the press release, and that is pretty important.

Thanks all...Barb
