Hi Sri, Sriram Ramkrishna wrote: Unfortunately I don't. I do have the business card of one of the British linux magazines (Linux Format I think). I have tried Wired before using their web form when I was doing GUADEC press releases. But I did not get any response from them. I can try again next cycle or perhaps try to set up a relationship. I also know someone over there - I'll try to drop a line to Nick Veitch (their editor) today while dodging raindrops. Can you try Wired this cycle, if you have a second, please? Web forms suck, but can be useful - especially if you ask someone to get back to you. Just give the event, and ask for someone to mail you back. On the international part, I hope our members in India have contacts in the The Hindu or The Times of India. I know my family members are voracious newspaper readers and I've seen enough to make a generalization that most Indians do. It'll generate some excellent press for us if it's in the context of human interest. Yes! Please, more international press contacts.

Nope, they weren't in the list. Do you know someone there you could call or email? Journalist communication needs to be bottom-up - no one person can be a pont opf failure. We're a large and international community - let's use that to our advantage.

Journalists contacted
Hi all, I just sent mail to Joe Zonker Brockmeier, Ando Oram, Nathan Willis and Denis Bodor about the 2.16 release (following my own advice and centralising the knowledge).

Re: Journalists contacted
I also contacted Graeme Wearden of ZDNet and Gavin Clarke of TheRegister (through a web form, if anyone knows him feel free to double up). Cheers, Dave.
