Re: [Publicity] New member blog post for review (to be posted on Monday)

Lars,

Paul sent "tiny edits" over the weekend, but they weren't in track mode.Â

I'm assuming this text includes the edits. So, with these small edits and your last round of editing from last Friday, I think we have a final.

I did give Paul until 10 a.m. to get to us to clarify, but I think we'll be ready to publish if you refer to his attachment from the weekend, which I'll send to you.

Thanks,

We could change it to Xen Project software. Think it's another example of awkward phrasing because of TM issues.

Thanks,

"XXX has been using virtualization since 2006" vs "XXX has been using Xen Project virtualization since 2006"

I think this comes down to familiarity and that use "virtualization" as an adjective, which just sounds strange (at least to me). If you look at "KVM/VMWare/Xen Project virtualization", they all just sound as strange. Whereas ""KVM/VMWare/Xen Project virtualization software" sounds better

How about I change it to "XXX has been using Xen Project virtualization software since 2006".

In any case, I think we ought to have a go at the TM best practice document again and pick out the phrases that sound OK and remove the ones that sound bad
