I think there's a page on the GNOME site with a list of PR contacts here: http://www.gnome.org/press/ It does need to be updated, I passed some info on to Stormy and I think she's passed that on to the right parties. We should also verify that the people on the page are still current with GNOME & ready to answer typical questions. > I could _possibly_ put together a quick media training session, on the order > of 90 minutes or so, but--for better or worse--it's the kind of thing that > needs to be done face-to-face: I can't do it either on the phone or via > email. Maybe at GUADEC this summer? Also volunteering for this. I have a bit of experience in this area as well. :-) > Relatedly, we need a list of media contacts, and a plan for cultivating more > of them. Yep. Since we seem to be putting in a CRM system already, it would be good to start putting people in there, I think. Press lists do tend to go out of date quickly. I'm willing to help curate this a bit.
