Hey, he said he still has 20 hours a week for FreeBSD!  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)
