As a volunteer-led project we can't assume that we have an available contact on any given day in any given country. Generally journalists expect a quick response. So we don't want to advertise a named media contact, someone who has a "day job" and goes on vacation, etc. Instead we advertise the pr...@openoffice.apache.org address and then the PMC finds an appropriate person to follow up, based on who is available at the time. This has worked well. Also, we make a distinction between: 1) Someone being interviewed as a contributor to OpenOffice, but expressing their own views and not officially speaking on behalf of the project. 2) Someone wanting an official statement on behalf of the project. We're glad to help with #1, but we don't put a lot of structure around it. Regards, -Rob > > J. M.
