Congratulations on your release!

I recommend that you include a short description of what Apache Avro
is or does as the first paragraph of your release announcements.  Your
release announcement is an opportunity to market your project to
others who have never heard of Avro and may not even know what Avro is
or does.

Also, Avro should always be referred to as "Apache Avro" in official
announcements.

Note: I am not subscribed to "dev@avro.apache.org" and no response
is necessary.
