[Bf-taskforce25] Siggraph show announcement

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Obviously we can't really "launch" 2.5 on the Siggraph convention, but 
we will definitely present and demo it extensively. I'm already getting 
requests from the press for "press kits", feature lists and high-res 
screenshots or other imagery.

Tom Musgrove already volunteered to hunt for the press during Siggraph, 
but I bet he could use help gathering good show material. William 
offered help to make high quality screenshots, and a 'product sheet' 
thing to print and hand out.

One of the things I'll go over before Siggraph is the overview;
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/blender-25-project/

Anyhoo... press usually loves bold statements. Since we don't release 
2.5, we should try to give it some meaningful event name... like 
"Blender unveils 2.5 on Siggraph".

If people have a few minutes of inspiration, dump some ideas or links 
to gfx here from which we can take samples :)
