I forget how I did it previously, or if it worked. They (lwn.net) are now
subscription only, so I don't know if the press release will make it to the
public site in time. The site publishes the weekly news to subscribers, then
posts that issue online for the public when it is a week old, and the new
issue goes to subscribers only. So any issue that you are looking at online
without a subscription is now a week old at the earliest.
As for lwn.net, I'll look at it during the next hour or so, and if I figure it
out, I'll post what I did, or what should be done. If you get it, post the
info on what you did, and I'll document it for the future.
I don't remember if they have a calendar to publish to or not, and if this is
restricted by subscription or not.
This is what my post mortem was all about. Getting the sources for publicity.
Documenting who, how, deadlines, phone numbers, emails, etc. to get the info
posted, where the info would be published, estimated reach, target audience,
what to do before, what to do during, what to do after, etc.
I set up a spreadsheet in OpenOffice to do this, but I haven't filled it with
much info yet. Everybody who was involved with contacting others on
publicity and access needs to get back to me with the above info. Look at
the post mortem email I sent the same week as the demo. Also, don't post it
to hangout, send it to me personally, as I've been requested not to post
certain contacts publicly, and I've been raked over the coals on something
(with contact info) I've posted to hangout previously.
Vin.
