Larry Cafiero has put a draft of dealing with the media up on the

That brought up the point of what's the policy for our dealing with the press.
Quaid pointed out that @redhat types have some limits due to SEC and
similar regulations regarding making press statements that may alter
stock price.
However there doesn't appear to be a polcy for @fp.o types.
Quaid submitted the following: "You do the right thing and publicize
you see fit; represent the project well; on Big Things , coordinate
with Marketing."
I believe that is a good basis for beginning a policy. Please discuss,
comment, flame, argue, and lets get something ready to present to the
Fedora Board so they put their blessing on it.
If there isn't already a policy I'd like someone to explain why we
need to create one before expending effort constructing one. If there
is a real need fine, if not it is a waste of energy. And if there is a
real need it should exist already I would expect.
