Sounds like a plan.
I think that being donations involved, the (general) press release +
(technical detailed) blogpost is the best solution.
As the press release will be targeted to general public, it would be a
good idea to address some questions like:
- Is the Debian infrastructure now - at least partially - in our
private cloud?
- What does it means in terms of changes, prestations, stability, etc?
- What makes it different from the previous situations?
I'd add obviously the thanks to people who donated (plus a clever link to
how donate moar).
I can start working on it as soon as you give more info: note that we
need at least a couple of days for reviews and translations of the
announcement.
Cheers,
Francesca
