Re: [fdn-ann] messaging statement

[Bart Decrem <bart eazel com>]

Hi Barbara,

That's a great summary.  Do we need to work on a longer speaking points page that
we can give to all the speakers so we'll have a consistent message going to the
press?  In turn, we could then make sure that those messaging points are driven
home in the press release.

Also, is there consensus that we should have two press releases:
1- the Gnome Foundation announcement
2- the Open Office / StarOffice announcement

Finally, has Sun decided how to announce the Solaris news?
