[Fsfe-ie] press releases

[Éibhear]

I also think that we should nominate a PRO. If one of us is contacted by a
radio or TV programme (or even a newspaper) we should be able to let them
know who the official point of contact is.

Perhaps something for the next meeting on the 18th?

both, but the authorisation process is similar. We just need to settle a
procedure. For press releases, how about:

blank for text, contact info - to be used for all press releases.

website lists: Ciaran O'Riordan, Chairman;Glenn Strong, Secretary,
webmaster;Aidan Delaney, Treasurer;Malcolm Tyrrell
> 3. Approval from Ciaran (as chair) and one other?
> 4. When approved, final version to list
> 5. Publish on press release section on website.

paragaphs of text. I'm happy to do the pro-forma bit after my exams, if this
helps.
