Hello, Herewith a message from the podcast people we have down as 'Media Sponsors'.
They intend to promote EP on the show they are recording tonight for release tomorrow, which does not leave much time before we planned to close Early Bird rate on 14th May. I've said that we will consider extending Early Bird rate for a week to allow their listeners time to take advantage. We have ourselves been remiss in having a last publicity push before closing Early Bird, so I suggest we extend it and take advantage of the extra time to publicise more. Best wishes, John -- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan Lynch <d...@linuxoutlaws.com> Date: 2009/5/12 Subject: Re: [europython-contact] EuroPython Event To: John Pinner <funth...@gmail.com> Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The promotional video would go well on our blog I think. The next show is due to be recorded tonight and should be released late tomorrow. It will fall just before the May 14th cut off date but not by enough for most people to listen to the show in time I fear. A week's extension would be amazing if you could manage that, I'm really sorry about the mix up. Completely my fault. The other idea I had was perhaps using a promo code I can tell people to quote when they book. That way you could still close the early bird rate for general sign ups if you wanted, but perhaps still offer it to people signing up from hearing the show. That might be a hassle so I understand if that's not an option. It was just another idea that popped into my head. We'll talk about the event tonight on the show and in the coming weeks. We stream the show live via http://linuxoutlaws.com/live so some people will hear it tonight. The vast majority of listeners still pick it up on download in the first 2 or 3 days after release though. I'll get back to you with some details and links once we release the show, and I'll also put a write up with the video on our blog this afternoon. I think we can still push a fair few people your way. The event isn't till the end of next month so I hope plenty of UK listeners will be interested.
