Am still waiting for someone to point out to an actual problem ("factually incorrect press releases"). Last time i checked, people pay to put out press releases to make them look good. ("seek to spin Synapse into something that makes other companies look good.").May be justin is right, we should ban anyone involved in any incubator project from making press releases. As far as i know no one has caught flak so far derby had press releases, beehive had them, stdcxx had them...
and stdcxx is the other example in the last 45 days of a badly written release (which was subsequently corrected, after it was initially published.) This seems to be a pattern. Of course Covalent, my own employeer, published something in conjunction with the donation of mod_aspdotnet. But then again, Jim Jag and I both are on that marketing staff about making accurate statements when it comes to the ASF. We have to be very careful on the cusp of commercial code becoming ASF based code... the marketing depts are still stuck on the 'our code' model, and are unlikely to grok the ASF concept (offending us and many of our fans and detractors)... ...so maybe an outright ban is appropriate? Or maybe the 'press education' planned by the PRC should actually be 'vendor education' upfront, to avoid misattributions.
