"Red Hat Releases Fedora 18 Beta"

[Anna Eusebio]

Hey everyone, 

I have been following the marketing thread since yesterday, and I apologize again for sending our reporters a subject line that was misinterpreted. I was excited to make sure the Beta release received a lot of good coverage, and I will definitely make sure the same thing doesn't happen again, especially with the upcoming GA. 

Sincerely, 
Anna Eusebio

Here's my proposal: it would be awesome if the Red Hat PR people will 
add to the check-list of things to do at a release one more bullet: 

"* Make sure the announcement is not mistaken AGAIN" 

Is F17 release all over again:

we seem to never learn and repeat the mistake at each release, perhaps 
that's why Jóhann was so annoyed.
