Well,
I do have one idea. Appear more in the news.
Why don't you use that news about XWiki becoming part of cloudbees platform
and post it into most popular technical news-sites
e.g.
http://www.infoq.com/ (western English-speaking world)
http://habrahabr.ru/ (Russia and Ukraine)
http://www.roseindia.net/ (Indian)
those I recollect off-hand, there are definitely more.
You could also prepare some case-studies on the technical part of XWiki and
on the innovations adopted there, and post the info to the above sites or even
to something like https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
Indeed.
Except that it's not "you" but "we" (as in "we" the xwiki community). Everyone
here is part of the xwiki community.
Note that the XWiki SAS company (http://xwiki.com) does its own marketing (re the
cloudbees integration for example it did quite a lot but mostly in French:
http://www.google.fr/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cloudbees+xwiki )
I completely that the XWiki open source project is not very good at doing "tech
marketing". Everyone in the community can do it and the XWiki committers too but
very few of them do any advertising of XWiki in web site articles, speak at conferences,
blog posts, etc. I do quite a few talks but mostly are in France (where I'm based).
So let's see: who would be wiling to write some article about a part of XWiki?
That would be a very nice way for XWiki users to contribute something back to
help the open source project.
Thanks

Hi remember me??? Guy with too much free time on his hands.... :-P
I would definitely be willing to contribute but unfortunately I find
myself too much alone in everything I do and apart from Forums and
Mailing lists don't really have any other resources.
I will definitely start my blog off on my wiki site with the Xwiki
projects if that helps but as stated unfortunately I am 'small-time' and
have no connections or industry ties at all :-(
If I could wrangle up a bunch of Xwiki users and start touring the globe
screaming Xwiki slogans along the way I would (don't know how productive
that would be but I hope my point is made).
Well anyway +1 resource here if anyone wants :-)
Regards,
Kaya
