Re: Please do not forget to mention Debian GIS in release notes [was: Bug#782695: release-notes: please add news from Debian Med to release notes]
Hi again
just to get on your nerves a bit: I'd *really* consider it very
important that Debian GIS shows up in the release notes. Otherwise
you will loose a singular chance to propagate the project in the
news which could bring several new developers and users.
Thanks for considering
Andreas.
PS: I'd even volunteer to write a draft but we need to be really
quick.
