Re: Marketing Activities at GUADEC
I've asked around and it seems that we have enough volunteers to edit our posts during the conference. The next thing is to try and get enough people to actually write the copy. Please put your name down if you want to help with any of this: https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2013/Marketing Also, do we have any ideas for how to recruit other attendees to help with this?

I think one thing that is cool is to promote a certain hashtag people can use when tweeting about the event (or just wanting to check what others are saying). It's cool if the hashtag is indicated in the badge or in any posters and stuff. In order to draw interest and attendance around GUADEC, it would also be good to do some announcements about who the keynote speakers are on guadec.org and gnome.org. For the actual attendance part I think we would need the registering system up and working first though. Not only the keynotes, but also the actual schedule of the conference. This is the kind of thing that may attract attendees that are not core contributors. Would be nice to interview some of the speakers and make some buzz around the talks too, as we had last GUADEC.

Is there any reason not to email the foundations list? It seems to me like the best list we have for something like this. karen Allan On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 2:06 PM, Emily Gonyer emilyyr...@gmail.com wrote: I'm happy to write stuff for the conference as needed, and certainly happy to be an overall editor/reviewer as well :) And I agree an early heads up, starting about now of interviews with upcoming keynoters would be a good idea.
