Strife. That's what the mainstream seems to tune into.
Actually, the main message I got from Robin's talk was that you need to
contact the media persistently. That you can't expect them to just
magically know about the cool new feature in your project. That you have
to be intentional about keeping in touch, and send them stories to talk
about.
It is better to send a poorly written email about an interesting story
than to send nothing at all. If the recipient likes the story and has
time, he will take care of writing well about it. Don't kill yourself
getting a perfect press release. If you do, you'll probably send very
few press releases.
Bruce, as someone involved in this, would you agree with this advice?
OOo could shape something like that. Focus on the strife and discord
threatening to tear up the project over which is most important: that
OOo is open source or that OOo uses open file formats like
OpenDocument.
Heh, sure, why not.
Cheers,
Daniel.
