The following are cover emails, sent out with the press release:
Translators
OSGeo community leaders and translators,
On Monday 4 May, next week, we will be announcing that registration is Open for the FOSS4G conference.
Delegates who came to the FOSS4G conference heard about it:
- 36% from a colleague
- 26% from a weblink
- 20% from a previous conference
- 10% from email
- 7% other
- 1% from a paper mailout
In order to promote FOSS4G as widely as possible, we are again asking for help from our international OSGeo community to help translate the press release in order to attract an international community to FOSS4G. We are looking to promote FOSS4G to the region by having specific conference threads addressing language and regional specific issues, and to demonstrate this commitment by personalising the message into local languages.
Next Monday, I encourage you to forward your translated press release to your local email lists and contacts, invite work associates to the conference, include the FOSS4G logo in your website.

To make translation easier, we have highlighted the changed text in red font. This font doesn't need to be copied into the final text.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Cameron Shorter, FOSS4G Organising Committee chair.
