Well, it does not eat the messages, it only route them to moderation and

What would help greatly would be globally planned launches. Often my
team learns of new drops too last minute to be able to develop a
large-scale launch that does not compete with other priorities on the
calendar. If we have plenty of advance notice, available spokesppl,
details, etc. then we could plan a *global* launch at release time
that includes the following elements:

For instance, have learned last week that F8 is coming 11/8. This is 1
day after a major infrastructure launch. we are basically competing
Well, the release schedules, as good as we can do, are publicly
available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases
Unfortunately, due to the specific nature, the final date is not set in

Even now we talk (on the devel list) about some potential blockers which

with our own news and press attn. I suggest we launch to the community
on 11/8 and do big press (all of the elements mentioned above) to get
serious exposure + accurate reporting. It's also Oracleworld
(11/11-11/15) and press are fiendish for news during this time.
Your thoughts, and support, are appreciated. Those of us dealing with
press/analysts also are feeling the void a few have indicated.
I don't think only release dates are worth publicizing, there are many
technological advances, like the inclusion of Iced Tea which are
important and known well in advance and could be used to build
expectation and momentum.
