Hey Rich --FYI, there's a new 'con in town, namely PhoenixCon.
Details follow.
I'll be doing my supporting promotions from the M&P side. Perhaps you can add it to the events schedule as well?
Also, in future, what is the best email address/list/* for me to send such notices to?
Many thanks,Sally

Would it be possible for the ASF to announce too (and a retweet would be appreciated too)? Is there an "official" calendar this will appear on (cc-ing Sally, master of all things marketing :-) ).
Thanks,James
