Thanks, Saied,
Sorry for my late response - I hope it's still useful.
In order to make it a real press release, you need to add a location and
date. I also have slightly edited the press release - see attached. If you
disagree with the edits just remove them.
I will need to talk to Jesus, the coordinator of OSAMi Commons, whether we
can join the quotes section.
BTW, where do we stand now with the initiation of a real organization? Do we
need any admin support, do we have a financial background we can rely on
etc.? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Susan
