[epsi-coord] ePSI conference press release

[Daniel Dietrich]

One note on the PR: usually PR's always have citations. Journalists will most likely not write about it without citation. Can we add some. Can we ask 3 people from our networks to write a sentence?

What do you think? is this too late?

Daniel
