Dear Developers,
the Press Team is changing! Francesca Ciceri and Neil McGovern have
accepted the promotion from assistants to press officers. At the same
time, Alexander Reichle-Schmehl and Meike Reichle have decided to step
down from the team, after many years of tireless contributions.
Please join me in welcoming our new press overl{adies,ords}, as well as
in thanking Alexander and Meike for their numerous past contributions.
We have also took this chance to clarify the role and responsibilities
of the press team. The "job description" is reported below, as part of
the formal delegation.

is revoked.

present ... and future contributions!
Cheers.
