[resend; I have only received two translation offers in two months]
[we especially need people collecting contacts in the local press]
Dear localteam,
I am sorry for not writing in Spanish and I hope I don't have to
learn it all for our next conference.
I've volunteered to be in charge of press issues for Debconf and
I would really like to stay clear of the time pressure and related
problems we experienced just before and during Edinburgh.
In this mail, I would thus like to ask for two things:
- Given my basic abilities with the Spanish language, it would be
great to have two people fluent in the language to help out or
be in charge of the press team. I'll be happy to do the
background grunt work and coordination, but the direct press
contact should be in the hands of two realiable fluent speakers.
- Could *everyone* keep an eye open in the months between now and
then for journalists who might be interested in Debconf? If you
read an article in the local newspaper or on a Spanish news
site, which talks about Linux or OSS, please find out how to
contact the author and send his/her contact details along with
the article link (or at least newspaper, date, and title) to the
debconf-press@lists.debconf.org list. If everyone keeps an eye
open, then by the time we get close to the conference, we can
easily push out short press announcements to interested parties
and don't have to spider the web with little time on our hands.
Thanks for your consideration!
