Re: Press release workflow for Fedora Marketing stuff
Hey, Kara! It's the week of the 28th, so if this is still good timing,
how about Friday afternoon, or anytime next week except Wednesday? (I'm
at a workshop most of this week and fly to California on Wednesday.)
My schedule is open for you anytime after noon EDT this Friday - just
let me know when, and if there's anything it would be helpful to prep with.

PS: Ccing Marketing so they're in the loop that this is happening...
folks, I won't be able to make the meeting today due to being at a
workshop, but will catch up with minutes afterwards.

Hi Mel,
Sorry for the long delay in responding to this note. I was in EMEA the
past two weeks and now this week is the home stretch for Summit so I've
been a little swamped. Can we schedule a call sometime during the week
of June 28 after Summit to talk through the workflow?
Thanks,
Kara
