German press (was: Draft #6: Semi-Final)

We are starting with a new press resource in Germany in September and may be
able to help out on pitching this release by using Afilias' implementation
story as a hook.

If you all would like us to do this, please let me know. I would also need
to know who the appropriate spokesperson for PostgreSQL would be for follow
up.

Anastasios - if you could send me a copy of the German press list, I can
make sure to pass it along to our new agency to use.

Best,
Heather

Would be great to be a little help for this amazing project.

OK. I will send you the whole PR list of GO-GEN (~ 75 IT media), as
there are also some other recipients within, interested in different
topics (open-source-software, partner programs ...) which could match
for PostgreSQL Inc. too.

OK - enough time to translate also into one of these funny bavarian
dialects ;)

OK, comprehensible :)
