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

[Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz redhat com>]

Sure, we can see if Stormy thinks there is any particular use for this list. As I mentioned, few of the people who are really part of the GNOME's press team are on it and it seems that the public discussion can be happening in a single place on the marketing list, and the sub-team discussion can be happening on the marketing private list.

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.
