I've already stated more than once that I'm going to do the announcements
on symlink, prolinux, freshmeat and wherenot, but I need stuff to announce.
Announcing an iso file from the topic of the #rocklinux channel is pointless.

Even so, what should I tell those people? Yeah,there are >250 bugs in the BTS,
somebody is working on it, no we're not dead even though our website is full
of dead links and the traffic on the mailinglists is ever decreasing.
Oh and don't get sidetracked by the fact that the patch tracking system still
hasn't got all the featured that were promised, they will come. If you want
to try it yourself, well, there are no tarballs, but you can just download the
subversion trunk, which - though it tends to be mostly broken in most other
projects - will work. No really! It works, although there's few people that
actually voice opinions, discuss them and trying to get it working. We're
alive, really. No, trust me, we are!


Not very convincing, is it?
