Hi, (Jordan CC'd so he sees this and has some advance warning in case this woman calls/contacts him.) Today we had another instance of someone using the -questions list in an attempt to get a hold of someone "in power" about the Linux Expo display booth in order to put some FreeBSD info on a web page previewing the Expo. The problem was the woman got a smart ass response from a user, who is not AFAICT, associated at all directly w/ the project (not listed as a contributor anyway). I don't know if she has since gotten a hold of Jordan or someone else, but I've responded pointing them to Jordan. The woman said she got the -questions address off the web page (I assume from http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html which she probably got to from the link at the bottom of the main page). That does appear to be the only address (to someone not knowing the structure of the mailing lists). I believe this same thing happened last year w/ Wilfredo Sanchez from Apple. Would it be possible to add a slightly better description to that mailto.html page to the current text and then also add an "official" address. I have no idea what the "official" address should be (Jordan's ?), but I think we need something. Since everyone loves diffs how about the following? (note I've stuck in Jordan's address as the official email address for lack of a better idea - I imagine he'd want to sign off on that but he is listed as the Public Relations guy!) --- mailto.html.orig Tue Jan 18 18:58:09 2000 +++ mailto.html Tue Jan 18 19:11:09 2000 @@ -21,8 +21,14 @@ <H2>Questions about FreeBSD...</H2> - <P>Questions regarding FreeBSD should be addressed to the FreeBSD Questions + <P>Questions concerning the use of or problems related to FreeBSD should be addressed to the FreeBSD Questions mailing list, <A HREF="mailto:freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG">freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG</A>.</P> + + <H2>Official contact</H2> + + <P>If you need to contact the FreeBSD project for public relations purposes, you can + address those to <A HREF="mailto:jkh@freebsd.org">jkh@freebsd.org</A>.</P> + <H2>Questions about the contents of this WWW server...</H2> Brett Taylor DaemonNews Editor in Chief ***************************************************** Dr. Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics * Walker 234 (540) 831-5410 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-www" in the body of the message
