ASF's name out in front of people that don't already know about us

Using email to get an organization's name out in front of people who don't know about it has a name and there's an ASF project whose purpose is identifying such email so the targeted users can keep it out of their mailboxes entirely.

Thankfully, outright spam to people who don't know about the ASF doesn't seem to be what is being proposed. I suspect that the DeveloperWeek organization may not understand that there is no marketing email list at the ASF and that the best they can get is what Sharan has already offered.
