To advertise the bounty, and the success/failure follow-up blog post:

• On Planet GNOME (by nekohayo)
• On Planet Ubuntu (by DPic)
• On reddit.com/r/opensource
• The Python Announce list
• !Python on identi.ca
• !GNOME on identi.ca
• Mizmo's blog
• lh's identitweet
• (your idea here)

Afterward, it'd be nice to get a follow-up write-up in a few places. Here are ideas for that:

• An article in GNOME Journal (by Sumana or Will Kahn-Greene)
• opensource.com
• Mizmo's blog
• (your idea here)
