All,
 
I've attached the press release for BarCampBankSF2 we plan to roll-out on Monday 16th. The PR is in PDF, Word and OpenDocument Text formats (preferably use the PDF format). Below is the blurb we plan using with the PR.
 
Do not hesitate to send the PR around. Time to spread the word WIDE AND LOUD!!!
 
Cheers,
 
Frederic

Dear Innovators,

It's been a year since we had the first BarCampBankSF at the UC Berkeley campus  -- and given the current state of the economy, the collapse of the stock markets, the credit crunch hitting the global markets and the issuing  severe slowdown of activity -- the timing couldn't be better for a second BarCampBankSF.

BarCampBank aims at bringing together the Bay Area's smartest technologists and industry insiders from all over the world for a great day of networking to discuss the impact of emerging technologies in the Banking and Financial Services space.  BarCampBankers will present projects, confront ideas and participate in lively conversations around the innovations in the Banking and Finance world. If you are an innovator, a technology disruptor or a professional in the banking and finance industry we'd love to have you join the debate and share in the experience.

We believe that innovation happens in any economy. We'd love to hear your ideas and share how your organization or institution is doing to ease the financial mess we are in right now.

Regards,

The BarCampBankSF Team.

Has anyone contacted Jim Bruene at NetBanker?  Last time he put a link up on his site and announced the event in a blog post...

I sent a link on the draft to Jim Bruene and Eric Mattson earlier this
week because we mention FinovateStartup09 in the PR. They did not come
back to me, but I suppose this is because they are ok with the text.

Eric, Jim,
if you hadn't had the time to look at the draft, please give a look at
the final PR and tell us if there is an issue before we start using it
tomorrow (PR is available at http://tinyurl.com/dym97m, but for some
reasons you need to follow ta second link). If it's ok with you, do
you see a way to spread the word on your side?

Cheers,

Frederic

Frederic...the wording is fine. Sorry, didn't see your earlier request.

We'll put it in the blog again. -- Jim
