* The Board approved the formation of the Public Relations Committee
(PRC). This new committee replaces the Fundraising Committee and also
rolls in the responsibility and management of our press activities,
public relations, and management of our web sites. The intent is to
present a coherent message to the press, our sponsors, and all
interested parties. This new committee is chaired by Brian Fitzpatrick.
how's this going to work in practice (with regard to the websites)?
does this mean that the right place to post patches for the federation website will change from infrastructure to PRC?
No (and I'm assuming that you mean "Foundation" when you say "federation").
More than anything, it means that for the first time, someone is responsible for oversight of the www.apache.org website. That someone is the PRC.
what about the websites for projects and sub-projects: is there going to be any changes in the way that these are managed?
No. I don't see any changes in the day-to-day operation of *.apache.org websites. But, for example, if the PRC were to spearhead a website redesign for the ASF, then all project websites would be (eventually) expected to conform to the new design.
