In order for PyCon to have a large attendance, the word must get out. This page is meant to contain a rough list of sites/lists/people/etc. that should be kept abreast of PyCon planning in order to help promote the conference. Also any other general notes should go on this page.
- Blogs
- Basically need people to mention it, hype it, and ask others to do the same
- Sites
- Slashdot
- LWN
- Daily Python URL
- Newsgroups
- c.l.py
- Mailing Lists
- python-dev Summaries
- Dr. Dobb's Weekly Python-URL
- python-announce
- Press announcement list on pythonology.org
- Groups

IMHO better target specialized audience like Zope/WebApplicationServer, .NET etc. with targeted messages in newsgroups with PyCon track referencies. Disclaimer: I'm nor Zope, nor .NET user. -- MikeRovner 2003-12-06 00:32:20
The FOSDEM conference runs brief interviews with various presenters. See http://lwn.net/Articles/63094/ for links to three of them. It would be an excellent idea to do the same for PyCon. We should also set up a link to all blogs covering PyCon while it's happening. --amk
Press releases are still a good idea. See PyCon2004PressRelease. --StephanDeibel
