Ok, after re-reading the archives from mid September, I've compiled this list of tasks and thoughts for the PR initiative. - Greg Brooks offered to do graphics, PR help, etc. -> let's take this kind offer. - database of tech editors/writers - Official PR website area - that's updated - BSD champion's kit -> for less "in the know" techies to spread the good info on FreeBSD - master list of major BSD vendors/consultants -> this is a GREAT idea. Maybe a list by area, with contact info so techies pushing FreeBSD have a "local"ish person they can ask for tips, etc. - Update Newsflash page -> let's get some real news on it. and keep it updated! - come up with a list of "FreeBSD pros" -> this should be easily found within 2 clicks of the main freebsd.org website. - a "bsd vs linux" table, with factoids and references - help page on building a presentation, with samples - keep an eye peeled for any news on freebsd, for addition to the newsflash page - hype hype hype 5.0 - downloadable poster's for the public - Talk with Apple about a little extra mention and "pat on the back" - get a "catch phrase" from each of the big freebsd using companies (yahoo.com for instance, might say "FreeBSD saves us thousands..." - choose media targets - make list of PR goals -> we want an article from x by y. - set up interviews - build team, organize above and get people on team to volunteer for the tasks - lurking -> we need to cover all the main mailing lists, and get the "scoop" from them, in order to promote and hype the "cool" stuff that freebsd has in the works. We should also take the announcements that people make on the lists, and offer to "PR"ize them into a format we can push to the editors/writers of the world. - build list of people we want to preview FreeBSD 5.0 -> and get them a copy with instructions on how to install. Did I miss anything? They aren't in any order yet. Lets make that the first priority. After we order them, we'll decide who starts on what, and get to work!
