Press release workflow for Fedora Marketing stuff

[Mel Chua]

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.
