Uh? I'm a little surprised, because you said that you liked the idea
of briefing tech journalists. As explained in my previous email, I
believe it'd be helpful to start building momentum with this release
yesterday and take it from there, possibly with PR around LinuxTag.

But they don't know about Mirabelle yet.

I feel this is an opportunity and am looking forward to discussing
this! LinuxTag starts at June 9, so it might make sense to have
something for one of the early days, since we could announce something
"at LinuxTag" and still attract visitors to the booth (Simon: you did
awesome work there!). But... uh, that's me just thinking out loud. :-)
