First thing that should be done: Fix the newsflash page, so that "FreeBSD PR Director Quits!" is not near the top of the list. Get out your text processor and get to work. You may get a shiny new email address out of it. :-) Second, ponder FreeBSD's strengths. Make a list of what would appear to the public, to nerds, and to suits. Ponder some more. Then post it here. (This is taking advantage of a message that Greg sent me, but I'm going to let him handle the todo list; he knows what the heck he's doing, I'm just a writer. :) ==ml > > Arjan > > On Friday 13 September 2002 18:48, Michael Lucas wrote: > > ...who, like, gets *paid* to do public relations! > > > > I'd like to introduce Greg Brooks.
