Thanks Raoul.
I have data only from past DebConf15. What has been done/can be done:
1.- When we publish announcements (CfP, for example), blog posts, news
in the website, we send the URLs to the media so they mirror or write
about them (this, I'm not sure how it was done last year (Did somebody
sent the links to Heise.de (the German Slashdot)?).
2.- We can prepare specific material to be published in their sites, in
coordination with some journalist (last year it was made with FSFE, as
far as I know. I think RichiH handled that).
3.- We can offer/negotiate some kind of sponsorship for them to attend
DebConf so they make a coverage themselves, first hand (last year it was
made with Linux Weekly News. I think Tincho or Sponsors-team handled that).
I can help in 1 and 2 for writing stuff, sending the corresponding mails
as soon as the info is prepared/published... but I think the other ones
(talk with them to know or prepare together the details of their
coverage, think about the possibilities of attending DebConf and if they
would need some sponsorship...) is better to be dealt by somebody with
more experience than me, together with the person that already know the
contact-journalists.
(If nobody objects, it's ok for me to be CC'ed in the conversations,
etc, so next year I feel more confident to cover this task in a more
useful way.)
Maybe we can set an agenda topic about publicity for a team meeting (I
would prepare the info and decisions needed (e.g. this "local media
coverage" management, in which Debian/Debconf medium we publish each
news-item, who can handle @debconf microblogging, etc). I think there is
no hurry for that, though; maybe talking about this before December (or
the Call for talks publication) is enough.
Or maybe we can just discuss/decide in the mailing list. I like both
systems.
