Since I'm not actively helping a lot with the whole PubRel idea, don't let me cause problems or inhibit the work you're about to do. But... I'm not sure I like the last sentence of 3.b a lot. I tend to prefer thinking of the BSDs as one large group of Unix developers, professionals and enthusiasts whose common goal is to enhance, develop, promote and advocate "BSD". I already know of at least two persons who are interested both in FreeBSD and one of the other BSDs. Why would you want to restrict access to these core advocacy teams? > e.

I also don't like the way "core team" is being used to identify the group that steers FreeBSD advocacy and public relations. There is much confusion and a lot of unclear vagueness that is waiting there for a chance to confuse the unwary reader. The previous two snippets refer to "core team" but it is only the use of the word "FreeBSD" in front of the "FreeBSD project core team" that hints towards the team of persons that receive core@freebsd.org mail. When this whole effort starts working towards common goals with the "OpenBSD advocacy team" and the "NetBSD advocacy team" you will have to distinguish between the three teams too. What will the term "FreeBSD project core team" refer to then? I'm not part of the core@freebsd.org team. Advocacy is, though, a game that some times depends on the ability to communicate the precise meaning of what is being written, with sharp clarity and no chance of being confusing. This is why I thought I'd mention the possibility of "core team" being a choise for a name that is less than optimal. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
