My immediate thoughts were on advertising in groups such as
dtrace-discuss, zfs-discuss, networking-discuss, etc - the relevant
communities for those doing the engineering work.  In cases where
there are projects that have their own list, such as crossbow and
others, it may also be worthwhile an additional email there, too.

My feeling, at the present, is that we're inadvertently leaving the
greater community out of a significant event in a project's life
cycle and that we should try to be more inclusive.
