Hey I want to start the next Newsletter early so it can be a little more relaxed. The next release will be the 1. April.

And then I want to introduce a new section called DeskShot where users can show off their workplaces.

Hey Looking at the Fedora ML there is some commotion about a Press Kit [1] they are constructing. I am thinking about doing something like this for CentOS.
