I think the simplest and perhaps most important change to get better PR for both Lazarus and FPC is the web page. It needs to be more "wow" style. News have to be a bit propagandistic. A FAQ is IMHO required with first questions like:

1. Is Free Pascal/Lazarus really free?
2. Can I use Free Pascal/Lazarus for commercial development?
3. Are there any real world applications made with Free Pascal/Lazarus?
4. Why should I use Free Pascal/Lazarus?
5. Isn't Free Software equal to crappy software?
etc.

In other words, FAQ for managers. I'm not saying you should scrap the old one. Just put the technical questions a bit lower.

I can write a few FAQ entries in plain text but I can't make a dynamic webpage(perhaps CGI? :) )
