Hi Chip, Here is what I propose, part of this may have already been done.
MeetUp: Reach out to CloudStack Groups and sent a note - I've seen this has been done by Karen for NYC, perhaps there is more groups she has not reached out yet Reach out to Other User Groups that CloudStack has been presented on in 2012/2013 and ask presenters to send a message to user group organizers about CCC13 so they can share with a group members LinkedIn: Everyone in linkedin must update their personal status - as going to CCC13 Send a note on LinkedIn CloudStack and Cloud groups about CCC13 Twitter: Tweet and ask for retweets Mailing List: Already done, but I would send a notice once a week so that new comers can read and perhaps attend CloudStack.org: Needs to have a large banner about CCC13 on the main page Wikipedia: Needs to have a link and notice to CCC13 Facebook: The main image with 2 screens needs to have CCC13 notice If you think of more let me know, lets divide and conquer.
