Is there a list of email lists / places to contact? My immediate thoughts
would be:

- University departments in London
- digital humanities lists
- okfn-en list
- okfn-discuss
- okfn-labs
- ...

We could then assign these to people.

Also do we have an announce version that is usable (copy and paste) for
*mailing* lists.

Also would be good to get blog posts up on
- Would be good to get a post on labs up

This is good but could we make it a bit terser :-) (can we make 1-2
sentences - and can we drop Textus reference etc etc). (Imagine no-one
clicks on the links ...)

People will rarely click on links so I'd inline here a bit more info about
what you can do on the day.
