Yeah, not sure it's the best story to go with at this stage - I haven't 
heard much myself on what's going on there. I do know that it was a 
multi-year plan, and certainly not that immediate.

I think I'd probably just focus in on GUADEC being an international 
conference, and the highlights the project has had during the last year 
rather than specific deployments. It's not a press release, and it'll be 
infinitely more interesting to read.
