Yes I agree whole-heartedly.... we NEED a team of writers! Well we could do with one or two writers, but send the press releases by web page and let every FreeBSD user group send the press release out to their local MAJOR city newspapers, computer mags, etc.... Maybe we could have a FREEBSD "PUBLICITY DAY".... we all organize the writings before the date and ...then ALL of us..... (How many is on this list?) send the press releases out to their FAVORITE mags, etc... one press release per person (no big deal, everyone on this list can put out a few minutes to fax or mail it) 300 press releases is better than ONE! > > On Wed, 3 Mar 1999, Amancio Hasty wrote: > > > Perhaps if have a a SWAT press team to attack or educate those lazy > > reporters they may think twice about only writing about L****. > > > >From my experience with the Press ( New York Times, Chicago Tribune, The > Wall Street Journal, to name a few ), you would be amazed at how little > they actually write.
