FUDCon Marketing?

[John Poelstra]

I thought Mike McGrath started a good idea with the thread about a 
banner ad... what else are we doing to spread the word about FUDCon?  I 
haven't seen any external press.

Some folks have mentioned spreading the word via blog postings, but that 
seems to be more announcing to ourselves instead of the outside world.

Could we get some help from the RHT Communications people to start a 
campaign now that builds up to the actual event?  Maybe first starting 
with a press release?

This seems like a great opportunity to call attention to what is 
different about Fedora conferences... things like the admission fee 
being approximately $895 USD less than what it cost to attend the other 
distro's recent conference in Portland, Oregon in July 2007?

But then maybe it isn't fair to compare these two conferences because 
they have a different purpose as do the distributions? ;-)
