Team roadmaps - UDS Dallas

[James Beake]

Don't know how we would organise fund raising for press ads or how to go
about getting them "officially sanctioned". Anyone done this sort of thing
before? Got any tips?

I'm wondering if there is also an opportunity to get some free press by
contacting the local newpapers with a newsworthy story around release time?
Of course there are also plenty of tree-friendly ways to get the word out.

What do you all think about targeting traditional media to promote Ubuntu?
Is it a good medium for reaching potential Ubuntu converts?

Cheers
James
