I added Zibby from the Linux Foundation. She does PR for the project. This may 
be a suitable article for outside our blog - we also sometimes cross-post.

Alexander, I made you an author. You may want to add a short bio to the 
account. Also please be careful with the user interface: make sure you keep 
whatever you do in draft. Also, we have a tag (need to check), which ensures 
that openstack stories appear on http://planet.openstack.org/

It may be better to draft an article on google docs first, rather than the blog 
or on this list. It is easier for Zibby, me and others to provide input that 
way. It also means that we are not leaking any information to the press (we 
know that some read this list). That means that access to drafts should not be 
accessible to everyone though. The latter is important, should we try and pitch 
your story to news outlets: news is only news if it is actually new. We may 
also reduce the CC list as the conversation is going on and remove publicity@

That is partly why we are not using this list as extensively as we have in the 
past. We had a couple of cases last year, where members of the press picked up 
a discussion on the list and published stories based on discussions, before we 
were ready.

Regards
Lars
