I disagree. We should announce this as soon as possible. The news is 
already out there.

As I said in another mail (which appears to have been way-laid) the 
dates are incidental to the news. The news is GUADEC going to Barcelona. 
The rest is detail that can be refined later.

I don't understand your caution. There is no harm in announcing "early 
June", which is a confirmed period.

+1 for Luis's reccommendation to release ASAP.

Cheers,
Dave.
