I read what you are saying, but we actually sent a lot of mails out, my concern is that more mails would just be spam.
Late as usual, I join the group, thanking all people involved for organizing a great event. And I believe that promotion was absolutely enough.
Do you have a suggestion as to how we get the attention of people (PMCs and everybody who potentially would/will come) ?
I'm sure that active people (committers, say) who were not in Budapest explicitly decided not to come. So the problem is not awareness, but perceived value in the context: these are just invented examples, but they may have decided not to attend due a busy period, to travel costs, to the conference fee, to a perception that they wouldn't make enough business contacts if this was important to them...
Of course I can't guess why others didn't come, but guessing/asking for that would probably help for future events.
