That's an awful lot of email. :) Seriously, the one post I'd have any concern about is the "FreeBSD Spokesman" that Jordan has been basically filling. It's not an official title by any means, but if one of us press sorts wants a quote on FreeBSD, we generally call Jordan. I'm sure that Jordan will still be happy to spout off about anything, though. We really could use a "presence", however. IIRC, jkh used to be the FreeBSD President, which was very useful from a PR viewpoint. Having "Mr. FreeBSD" was kind of nice. Maybe we can volunteer, say, Greg Lehey for the job. ;) (/me looks for incoming fire from Australia, and ducks) -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
