Communications Channels
Last saved by Rollo Home on May 10, 2013
This is a starter for a list of channels which we will use to market FOSS4G, and to communicate with interested parties. We will need to put some lead names against these. In the meantime please add (including your name if you are willing to lead).
The next stage will be a bit of a plan for each group setting out what we want to use the channel for, and when.

Does anyone have any experience of press sponsorship packages? Should add that I'm very happy to handle the 'press' side of things unless anyone else wants to....

That's William Allbrook isn't it? I know him fairly well, so I can chat to him about this. A good idea.
