    : I was generalizing. but now that I got your ear what is the core team
    : doing about PR and Martketing, and why is the "Public Relations &
    : Corporate Liaison" seat open? see the "FreeBSD's Visual Identity:
    : Outdated?" and freebsd foundation threads on -questions for more info.

    We are well aware of the issues here, and have talked about them in
    some depth. We'd planned on launching our efforts to fix the
    problems, if any truly exist, after the first of the year when people
    are back from their holidays. Also, there's never been a PR seat, so
    to complain that it is open is like complaining that the village idiot
    seat is open... That critism is unwarranted. In the past, PR has
    been done by the cdrom companies, but their monitary incentives for
    doing that is now way down since cdrom sales have dropped so much over
    the years. The FreeBSD Foundation is an independent entity, over
    which core has no control.
