The mention is in the 'In the Press' page though, not in the 'news'
section.

DesktopBSD,  FreeSBIE, Frenzy & PC-BSD are still FreeBSD and mention
of them in the press would be IMHO ok for inclusion in our 'FreeBSD
in the Media' link collection.

I've also linked to good 'generic BSD' press articles in the past
from our 'Press' page.  Advocacy has fuzzy boundaries...

I wish we had a better way of sharing advocacy & marketing efforts
with our derivative projects.
