In order for PyCon to have a large attendance, the word must get out. This page is meant to contain a rough list of sites/lists/people/etc. that should be kept abreast of PyCon planning in order to help promote the conference. Also any other general notes should go on this page. * Blogs * Basically need people to mention it, hype it, and ask others to do the same * Sites * Slashdot * LWN * Daily Python URL * http://www.linuxpr.com/ * http://www.prweb.com/ * http://newsforge.com/submit.pl * http://www.pressbox.co.uk * Newsgroups * c.l.py * Mailing Lists * python-dev Summaries * Dr. Dobb's Weekly Python-URL * python-announce * Press announcement list on pythonology.org * Groups * Local Linux/Unix user groups. IMHO better target specialized audience like Zope/WebApplicationServer, .NET etc. with targeted messages in newsgroups with PyCon track referencies. Disclaimer: I'm nor Zope, nor .NET user. -- MikeRovner <> The FOSDEM conference runs brief interviews with various presenters. See http://lwn.net/Articles/63094/ for links to three of them. It would be an excellent idea to do the same for PyCon. We should also set up a link to all blogs covering PyCon while it's happening. --amk Press releases are still a good idea. See PyCon2004PressRelease. --StephanDeibel ---- CategoryPyCon
