I'm not sure what feedback you were looking for exactly.  I made some
grammatical and content suggestions.

Make this "It's prime time to start talking about what users can
expect to see, highlight..."  We've started talking some time ago.

Make that lower case "podcast."

"faster" or "improved," as opposed to "super fast."

It would really be nice to ensure whatever Jesse says about PK is
bare-bones, or at least non-conflicting.  There's a whole PK podcast
ready as we agreed in our planning:

"technologically advanced"

Damn skippy.

I think the fedora-announce-list subscribers would probably consider
this falling outside that list's purpose.  Posts to the Planet should
be sufficient to cover the Fedora community itself, I'd think.

Below is what I will post to the Fedora planet and submit to other 
news channels tomorrow.  Something will be posted about this to 
announce list tomorrow. Also, this is what should be distributed by 
the NDN folks and please ambassadors and others if you can help drum 
up support by linking to this, that would be great.


Places it should go:

Fedora Marketing List
Fedora Ambassadors List
Planet Fedora
News Distribution Network
 - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_press_publications
 - Any press generated should go into the press archive

Ultimately we'll want to take a few of our news items and turn them into 
something for Red Hat's Press Blog also.
