Thank you both Stefano and Justin for your reviews and suggestions, this is what I consider the final text for press announce. ----8<---8<---- Subj: Italian Debian Community Conference 2010 - 17th-19th September, Perugia (PG - Italy) The Debian Project and the Debian Italian community are pleased to announce that the 5th edition of the Debian Italian community conference will take place from the 17th to the 19th of September in Perugia, Italy. For the first time, the conference has been organized in association with the Italian Ubuntu community[1], joining efforts with the traditional Italian Ubuntu Meeting. For the occasion the conference has been renamed to "Italian Debian/Ubuntu Community Conference"[2] (DUCC-IT '10 for short) and will focus on bringing together both communities and improving cross-distribution collaboration. Users, contributors, and enthusiasts of Debian, Ubuntu, and any other Debian-based distribution are invited to attend. The event will also be an opportunity to celebrate the annual Software Freedom Day[3] in Italy, which will be co-located in the city of Perugia[4].
