## Notes
### Karsten brings up the Linux Foundation press release
* KB: why is Stephanie involved?
* Karsten: why is LF involved?
* Karsten: Stephanie is simply a help resource we can use
* KB: LF is not running the virt sig, rh is not running the virt sig
* Carl: Press release needs to come to the board. Do we even want one?
* Carl: notes how Apache Foundation handles such things
* KB: Press release from their end vs. from our end
* Karsten: none of us are pr experts. it’s good to have help.
* Jim: just learned about this today. I want to see the release. Doesn’t matter that it’s for summit. Help from Stephanie is fine, but she is not a blocker.
* Carl: If the release makes any representation about the project, then they need our approval
* Carl: we should establish a press list and develop some expertise and rules
* KB: haven’t had a chance to look. only had it for five minutes
* KB: no need for this to block for weeks
* Carl: need to formalize how we handle issuing our press releases.
 * through RH?
 * through another company that employs one of us?
* Jim: can we view/crib the ASF policy?
 * Carl: yes
* KB: let’s get this particular release handled in the next day for so and try to formalize the process later
