DesktopSummit comm channels

2011-04-21 Thread William from Texas
Hi Marketing Teams!

I am helping put together a list of primary communication channels for the
DesktopSummit 2011 in Berlin. As August approaches, we are going to start
sending out announcements and other info, and we want to reach as many
people as possible. I helped out in a similar fashion for GUADEC 2010, but I
think this year it's going to be a bigger party..

I've already found the normal announce channels for GNOME and KDE
(gugmasters-list, gnome-announce, kde-announce) as well as general purpose
Linux/FOSS/hacker lists (LUGs around the world, LinuxChix, FSF, hackerspaces
around the world).

On the advice of Dave Neary, I was wondering if you had any contacts
(mailing lists, bloggers or journos, other resources) that I could add to
our list to reach the widest and most interested segments. Any information
would be appreciated!

Many thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions..

Hello Alberto!

My boyfriend went to the Gnome 3 Release party in Manchester - when he
came back he asked if he could install the Gnome 3 Shell on my
netbook. I was reluctant at first, but eventually let him and thought
you might like to know how great I'm finding it!

In the past I've found some free software very difficult/non-user
friendly, but I'm really loving the simplicity and general slickness
of this. And it looks great too.

Anyway - I just wanted to say thank you for restoring my wavering
faith in free software.

Many thanks,

Joanne Payne
