David--
while I think this is a fair criticism, handling the media is something
that I am not really personally able to do (but see below...).
One other grass roots thing I am also looking at putting together is an
IRC party on #opensolaris, and looking at ways of making entering the
IRC channel for casual users easier, like a java applet or something.

That would be awesome-- the thing you wrote is great. I think that
I was trying only to carve off the blogging part of the birthday
effort-- there is more that hopefully will happen (I at least hope
that we'll see some news articles and stuff). Over in the marketing
community there has been a discussion about the birthday. I hope Sara
and/or Laura will also respond to your point about non-blogging types of
participation.
