Make ASF public press release

[alamb]

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

DataFusion PMC,

I'm writing on behalf of ASF M&P about Apache DataFusion's graduation to TLP. We typically announce project graduations in a formal press release that is posted to the newswire, Apache.org and ASF social channels.

The process to announce this milestone is pretty straightforward, and you can find more information on the Wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=263427108

You can also see a recent example of this type of announcement here: https://news.apache.org/foundation/entry/apache-software-foundation-announces-new-top-level-project-apache-celeborn

ASF M&P is also hosting other promotional activities in celebration of the ASF's 25th anniversary. ASF projects are welcome to take part in any and all ways; please see links below and share as you'd like.

Please feel free to loop other members of the community as needed to coordinate marketing efforts.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best, Whitney

Kindly note that all ASF press releases are kept private (= limited to private@) during the drafting process to ensure no inadvertent leaks happen on email lists or directly to the media. Please be sure to include markpub@ in your replies so the team is kept in the loop. Thank you for your understanding.

Apparently this process needs to happen not on github

The ASF guidelines involve working on the wording with the PMC, so unfortunately I can not share the content publically before then

Update here is we have submitted a draft to the ASF publicity chairs who are working the process

This release is scheduled to out today at 9AM Eastern Time
