Getting the word out

From OpenHatch wiki

Sometimes we write blog posts that are of interest to a general audience -- not just existing OpenHatch blog readers, but broader communities. So here are ways we can reach those communities.


Open source news websites that might care

Tech-y places that might care

Places where Linuxy beginners hang out

Online magazines that might care, and who to talk to

  • Joe Brockmeier might be willing to write for LWN.net
  • Ruth might be willing to write for opensource.com (but is happier if one of us just writes)
  • Kjerstin Johnson seems to be interested in writing about women in open source: See: bitchmagazine.org profile/kjerstin-johnson
  • blog.smartbear.com - seems to do guest posts, and writes about open source.
