A group statement on SCO's actions

[Jesse Stay]

Here's an idea - it could be done either just locally, or organized
locally (in Provo/Utah area), but it might be of interest to the media,
and applicable to what we're about.  How about some sort of IRC chat or
other forum where the media can sign in and ask members of the Linux
community their opinions on the subject?  Or perhaps a slashdot/type
interview where they give us their questions, we take the top ones,
answer them, and present them back to the media in a press-release of
sorts.  This is a very different way of doing things, and perhaps could
get some attention of the news media.  Kind of a "geek" way of doing an
interview.
