Seems an over-reaction, Dave. We've had some abysmal press lately, and I
agree with Bastien; a number of the things generating headlines have
little to do with facts or with what people who are "in" GNOME are
actually doing. But we still look bad all the same.

I'm not sure how creating a "community manager" position is going to
change that. Ubuntu has a community manager. The job description seems
to be slavishly saying how great everything is. Admittedly, that *is*
PR, but I ended up unsubscribing/unfollowing/uncircling him from all my
networks because the banging-the-drum was incessant.

So how can we communicate effectively without making it seem we're being
slavish?
