I just saw some banners saying that IBM is giving banner space for free for open source project. I think that both Lazarus and Free Pascal should try to get banners!! Perhaps even more Lazarus. here is the url: http://www.openpowerproject.org/us/lp.php?cid=b2_linsider_ros_336x280_g -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Re: [fpc-devel] PR: What sites to spam for 2.0.2 release?
Dear Tom, I agree in general. However, I suggest to wait with the announcements in the Mac channels until fpc 2.0.2 is available through fink. I am just getting it together and It should be done in short time, one maybe two weeks from now. The .dmg package should be mentioned as well.

It is IMHO not so good to sent an announcement one or two weeks after a package has been released, it is old news then, sites may not cover it anymore. People can download MacOS releases directly from us, which should be enough for announcement, right? You can put in the announcement that it will be available from fink shortly. By the way, no critics to you as you didn't know, but the source code has already been frozen for weeks, it may be possible to start the fink release process earlier.
