[FM Discuss] questions about place

[adam]

i'm not sure i understand the point...promotion? we have never been good
at it, i have to say, but promotion comes down to us telling people
about what we do...for example, i do a lot of talking about fm, book
sprints, specific manuals, free documentation, free manuals, free
culture, free content etc etc etc ...at these i would choose to talk
about booki when appropriate and not at other times...im not sure i get
the question though...
