We do have an email alias for this - gnome-press-contact - which points to another email list - [email protected] Than list has a very small number of members - at one stage it was myself & Jeff Waugh. I don't know who's on there now, I assume I still am, since I still see press requests. > Stormy clearly has to be on the list; Dave Neary has volunteered (not > media-trained); I'm willing as well (and I have had media training...) I have media training, in that I have dealt with the media :) Just no formal media training. > 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? Big +1 from me. We could also run a half day speaker's workshop, which I'd be happy to lead, to get people presenting better (the same as they do in OSCON - with Damien Conway no less). > Relatedly, we need a list of media contacts, and a plan for cultivating more > of them. Now that we have a CRM, that will help. I have a healthy list of journalists I've dealt with over the years. Now if only there were more hours in the day...
