:
- Please replace the ship logo with one that has a transparent background. This one looks ugly over the mediawiki book background. Just select the PNG white area in Photoshop and press backspace (or something). -Ovvldc 07:35, 20 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- Xslf has also complained about that recently, as have I in the past (the current version is a JPG, not a PNG at all). I have uploaded a version of the ship logo that is only 26K (as opposed to the 40K it was in the past. Please use that one, Jake. --sardisson 15:34, 20 Jun 2005 (CDT)

c|net/news.com- Which is the "appropriate department editor" for a Neo/J press release? --sardisson 01:47, 19 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- how about some mainstream media?
- :
- Er, what about Apple.com Hot News (presumably that gets dispensed to all international outlets at Apple as well)?? - seems to be mostly Apple aggregating the media's stories about Apple :-( --sardisson 01:47, 19 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- Ars Technica: if you could persuade John Siracusa to write a review that might be pretty cool (he could be interested in the nitty gritty of getting OOo to run natively in OS X given his other columns - might provide an interesting perspective on the "how" rather than the "why" of NeoJ). http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac.ars

- EN_UK
- , : can you add sites/publications to this section?
- : Most of the sites I visit are US ones (when it comes to Mac/Tech news) but here are some possibilities:
-
MacWorld (UK edition):http://www.macworld.co.uk/contact/ (not sure who to e-mail there but they should be sympathetic given the presence of NOJ on their cover CD) - Press Releases - News, Reviews -
The Registeris worth a shot: (again not sure who to e-mail, but Andrew Orlowski or Tony Smith tend to be the ones who report on Mac news) - Press Releases -
MacUser/PC Pro:Magazine requests that press releases and news items should be submitted to Releases -
MacFormat Magazine:Reviews: Mark Sparrow Editor: Graham Barlow - The National Broadsheets might be worth a go too but I suspect this would be a long shot (for their online versions in their Sci/Tech sections):
-
The Guardian:online@guardian.co.uk -
The Times:online.editor@timesonline.co.uk - The Daily Telegraph: they don't seem to have any easy to find contact address so screw them ;-)
- The Independent: ditto the Indy - no contact e-mail that I can find
- Er, I can't remember others at the moment... The Guardian runs an online blog that may pick up the news from other sites anyway, fwiw.
-
- DE
- contact info for lots of German Mac media, provided by apfelwiki.de
- FR
- MacBidouille -> will be translated and published on HardMac if published
- MacGeneration
- NL
- http://www.macosx.nl/ - registered for the forum,
will send announcement through http://www.macosx.nl/?p=newssubmit - http://macfreak.nl/ - I already registered for the forums,
editors are at redactie@macfreak.nl - http://www.macfan.nl/ - Idem,
but here press releases should go to redactie@macfan.nl
- Ovvldc. I will put the forum registrations to the name of NeoOffice and send these to my own e-mail address for now. After the release dies down, I will change the adresses to our community gmail account and forward the passwords. I'll do forum postings on wednesday as follow-up.
