Hi Julian,
Those are some great points, I will keep them in mind.

Here’s my 2 cents on publicity: do a little and often, and use lots of pictures.
Very few people are tuned into the first broadcast of a new radio station, but
more people tune in over time if there is regular good content. So, don’t bust
a gut trying to make huge splash for the release. Make a short factual post
about the release. Then work on some more content (say a demo, or a brief video
of a demo).
In both tweets and blog posts, a graphic helps get your message across. So, aim
to have an architecture slide ready to tweet in 1 or 2 weeks. And a slide about
Quickstep’s memory format (or whatever) in a week after that.
Also, do a tweet and a blog post each time a significant feature lands in
Quickstep (hopefully at least 2 or 3 per release).

Hello folks,
I am making some noise (a.k.a publicity) about our release on various forums.
Please help us spread the word:
Hacker news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13962876 Honestly, this is my
first post on HN, so I am not sure how it works. I guess you need to upvote it
to make it more visible?
Twitter: https://twitter.com/ApacheQuickstep There are a couple of new tweets. We should
probably have a better twitter bio for the project. Right now it is very brief
"Democratizing Data Analytics". Any suggestions?
I am also writing a blog post on the various storage formats in Quickstep and
how to create them through CREATE statements. I somehow couldn't get jekyll
working on my machine.
