There is an area called News in Thomas Apel's new Debian page design...
http://www.koeln.netsurf.de/~thomas.apel/debian/index.html past press
releases, news, etc. in my opinion should be kept there. The current design
also has a Latest News area. I'll add a pointer to it. This page is
intended more for policy than for current material.

Changed...

Clarified. I don't know where it was posted originally (anyone know?). I'm
fairly sure Bruce is still with SPI... I'll leave it unless someone tells me
otherwise. Does SPI have a web page?

Changed.

Added links.

Actually, this page is intended to be targeted at the people in
debian-publicity who will release official Debian related material to the
press and public. The CD related policies etc. should probably stay in the
CD Distributor area. I'm trying not to take too much information into this
page to avoid bloat...
