Karsten, what is our plan exactly? I'd really like to see some
announcement got out -- it doesn't have to be businesswire, but some
linux-sites will likely pick it up if we just send some sane stuff in

As long as we include the announcement in our FWN, it should be picked
by most popular Linux news sites.
