Re: GNOME Press Team: usage of gnome-press-team list

[Paul Cutler <pcutler gnome org>]

We might want to ping Stormy about it - she had done a lot of work
setting up the press team and had some good ideas on how we create a
team that is available when opportunities arise about talking to the
press.  Where the marketing team may be focused more at times on
promotion of GNOME, this was almost a sub-team that might get press
training and stuff like that.

I think this was tied to an Ambassador-like program that was
brainstormed as well.
