I started a draft here
  http://whiteboard.debian.net/dc11announce_70693a.wb
based exactly on the old text.  I'll talk with the localteam to try to
work out just what details are know - ...

Actually, it seems like this would be a more appropriate message to
model off of
  http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20090225.114527.4f27d7e2.en.html
since the other message was sent in December after details were known.

To do:

- [dc11 localteam] Could you add some quotes to the draft, and any
more 

  - Also make sure that the local sponsor support isn't overstating
    what we have.

- [Hydroxide] I included some metavariables for you to fill in as a
  quote from the decision meeting leader.  If someone else would like
  to provide the decision meeting person's quote, please do.

  - also, adjust the length of it (3.5 hours) if that's not about right.

- [dc10 localteam] [dc10 talks team] Revise DebConf10 open day blurb -
  should we say it's targeted to users, or like past DebianDays and
  targeted towards people who would be interested in the benefits of
  Debian/free software ?


Thanks (and thanks, Alexander, for starting this off),

- Richard
