It would also be nice to get an interview with Ludovic, if he wants, because I talk too much :P > She also suggested that we'd be able to > get some links from the www.fsf.org or www.gnu.org blogs to whatever > press materials we had. (What do we have?) I don't know of anything. Want to make a "2.0 release" page? It could start with a summary, then list a number of important bullet points, and much of the text could be culled from the news. The audience would be a programmer that could be interested in Guile, but not necessarily one that knows Guile already. Mike also had an article written that he was going to try to get to LWN.net. Guile 2.0 would make a great story for them. Just some suggestions from the top of my head. It seems that all I do these days is make stuff up and send it to the list ;-) > LibrePlanet's presumably coming up soon (provided it takes place as > usual on the third weekend in March).

Too much travel :/ However, you are knowledgeable and local -- why not? :) Cheers, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
