I have to disagree
Lifehacker.com, a popular blog, has a weekly article from the Linux
world, and often focuses on brand new or cutting edge releases of Open
Software. The culture there very much appeals to the early adopter
and gadget hound.
Is there a way we could facilitate these type of articles other than

The reason, IMHO, that it appears we are running in circles is because
we are due to the fact that the marketing team has not, as far as I can
tell, established any real sense of its own identity or its di

This is a project very close to my heart that we definitely need to talk
about once we get to the projects and tasks part of defining what the
team does.

right. the team does need to set up strong leadership and that is
something we should do so
As I mentioned earlier, I am willing to do whatever it takes to get this
