Re: Draft #5 -- radically re-written

Josh - just use the city/market you are going to release it in. i.e.: if you
are releasing to Toronto papers put in "TORONTO, CANADA," but if you are
releasing to West coast media you could put in "LOS ANGELES, CA." The idea
behind this is really to raise the eyebrow of "local" media. I would then
just pick the most relevant media market and include that city/state on the
release you will post to the Web site.

In reality though, the focus of reporters at tech trade magazines are
usually national (or international) and so the dateline generally only
serves as a point of reference so they know where the company is located and
thus becomes less important from a news filtering perspective.

Hope that helps.

Heather,

> INSERT CITY/STATE - August xx, 2003 -

Can you give me a suggestion about this for the 7.4 release?  PostgreSQL
isn't
located anywhere in particular.   But if we omit the city and state, some
news agencies will fill in TORONTO, CANADA on their own, furthering the
confusion between us and PostgreSQL Inc.

Using "THE INTERNET" seems pretentious.  Any ideas?
