I create 3 wiki pages for press contacts: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press/media - media list - url for submission when I found them - don't hesitate to help with the site who do not have a link yet (I can only do English and French) http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press/template - sample letter in English http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press/template-fr - sample letter in French Don't hesitate to fix typos or spelling mistakes, also I recommend to change in the last paragraph "with local organizers in your country" by the country where you will post (if you do) and maybe give a link to the wiki country page. Thanks. Fred On 09/14/2011 09:38 AM, Frederic Muller - SFI wrote:
Hi guys!
We've now reach 402 teams with a few extra countries compared to 2010 (we've also lost a lot of teams in China for example ~40) and are getting huge web traffic and excellent press coverage: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/press
I am compiling a small list of big media site where I'll submit a short intro/PR and keep my fingers crossed. If you help me to find the contact/submit page for big media in your country I don't mind submitting as well (or maybe I should just share the text, later today but the text needs to be slightly adapted per country).
So far i was thinking to submit at: USA: - CNN - FoxNews - NY times - Computer world - Reuters - ABC News - USA Today - CS News - Washington post
UK: - The Guardian - BBC - The Register
France: - TV Channel 1 & 2 - Le Monde - Le Parisien - Le point - Liberation - Le Figaro - Nouvelobs
Germany: - ??
Thanks.
