[Dev-flock] pre-launch today

[Clay Ward]

Here's where we're at:

I'm going to go through the contacts list Claudia has been working on and
send the attached press release (thanks to Jaime, Sherri, and Nicole) to
local papers and whatnot by 1pm.  I'm also finishing up changing some of the
pages on our blog to BILUMI from TAM.

Several folks are submitting logo designs for BuyItLikeYouMeanIt.  I'll send
out another survey to get all of your feedback on them.

Chia, Dan, and Lucy are changing our actual website and blog address to the
new URL and making sure that TAM still redirects there.  Chia has made a lot
more changes to the homepage, all good ones.  Pepe is trying to get a
presentation together for Sunday, and hopefully that'll mean he'll have
something to show the crowd on June 3rd.

I'll write a blog post and send an email to our announcements list as well
to mark the name change and let people know about the event.

Nicole and Claudia are making new myspace and facebook accounts for us and
will be using those sites as platforms to contact the public.  And Claudia
and I will be contacting other press sources, blogs especially.  My friend
Dan Evans has already written a post about us and is waiting for my say so
to release it.

We can still make changes!  So let me know what we can do better!

woooooooooo!
