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 DateTime(2003-12-06T00:32:20Z)

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
