Hi,

+> 
+> Proposal 2: 
+> 9 months release cycle -> 18 months life cycle  
+> ( ~ opensuse and the one we used for Mageia 1 )
+> 
+> Proposal 3: 
+> 12 months release cycle -> 24 months life cycle
+> ( Mandriva > 2010.1 )
+
+The only reason for marcomm to take a position is that a release is a
+nice hook on which to hang another round of publicity.
+
+I think 9 months is good; it gives us a good amount of time to plan
+whatever marketing/comms work is needed for release time, but it's
+not too long so we fall out of the public consciousness altogether.
+
+And there are other things about us to publicise besides releases, so
+we can fill in the gaps nicely!
+
+Cheers,
+
