Getting the word out

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.

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)
