Other things to do:

Add your information here in the appropriate place on the Planet beat.
 	https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats

Like I said in my email to f-marketing-l, my strategy is pretty much:

0.  Read Planet daily.

1.  Copy & paste the 2 or 3 posts that I think are most interesting to 
the community at large into:
 	https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats/PlanetFedora

2.  At the end of the week, go to that page and open up all the links I 
saved.  Any that seem pointless a few days later, I delete.

3.  Then I take the remaining ones, and try to write a little narrative 
about them.  If you're a consistent FWN reader, you've probably already 
seen it.

You, of course, can do it however you like.  But that was the strategy 
that I used.

Thanks for helping out -- much appreciated.
