OK, apparently I'm not understanding this.
I was referring to providing promo swag. Not a press release.
Curious about your proposal for a press release: what should we be
saying, exactly? To be clear, the ASF --as a foundation-- does not (=
has not, to date) issue position statements like this. We need to be
aware that this may also be pushed back on us, considering our low
percentage of female participants. We have quite vocal ASF Members who
feel that we're misogynistic and not female/*-friendly. Just saying.
In lieu of a press release, perhaps you/we either a) publish a blog post
under ComDev/community, or b) pen a "Success at Apache" article. Both
would be distributed to our community via announce@, and the latter
("Success") also gets sent to the press.
Thanks,
Sally
