To quote from Bruce Byfield, the author of the Linux Journal link I provided:

"Over the years, I've written and talked several times about how free
software projects should approach journalists. "

That is the first sentence of the article. Whether it is openSUSE or
Debian, Ubuntu, or Fedora, Red Hat or Gnome is irrelevant. The whole
article is about how a PR person should talk to journalists, what
openSUSE did right and how other projects can follow suit. It isn't a
list of things to do or confined just to openSUSE, it's about what
projects need to do to get into magazines, blogs, etc. to get projects
to cover them.

The fact is as much as I love TDE, the PR and the blogs are usually
negative to TDE (not always), more along the point if you don't like
KDE4 use TDE to relive the experience. The reviews are not "Here's
what TDE is" or "Here's how it can help you do your job today (not
yesterday, not 5 years ago...today)."

I would love for the next blog or article I read to not compare TDE to
KDE4. Compare TDE to LXDE, XFCE, or Gnome, for a change. Better yet no
comparisons at all. Just what TDE can do for me to use my computer.

I have been on the outskirts of TDE since Hardy 8.04 came out. I used
the Kubuntu remixes. My wish is that TDE would completely outgrow any
and all references to KDE. KDE3.5 is dead. Long live TDE.

Shalom
