[Marketing] deadline for Mirabelle media launch PR is tonight 6PM EST... if we can agree what will be in it

[Sean DALY]

We're not making the deadline, which is OK we'll push 24 hours and
still make sdz's talk at LinuxTag in time.

The heart of the matter is that Sugar on a Stick has been presented
all along as a Sugar Labs project, which is normal - teachers don't
need the level of detail important to engineers.

Visibly, there are problems continuing that approach.
