[evergreen-outreach] Conference Press Release

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

+1, with a minor technicality ... 350 people *registered*, but the average
session attendance was 60 (high of 150, which was the keynote). Which is
still pretty good.

Is it possible to include a link to the YouTube conference playlist?
