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.
