GNOME Journal Announcement Guide
These are the basic steps to spread the word about new GJ issues.
Write an announcement message and get approval/comments from the GNOME Journal mailing list (See this one)
- Send announcement to the following mailing lists:
- gnome-announce-list
- marketing-list
- gnome-journal
- freedesktop-promotion
- Blog about the new GJ issue and spread the word on planets!
Use the GNOME Journal identi.ca microblogging account, which gets syndicated to Twitter
- Add GJ banner at gnome.org front page
- Submit the announcement to:
OSNews (They usually accept it. Sometimes they even make their own.)
- Submit an introduction to each article to:
digg.com (We have a special GNOME Journal account for this!)
LXer (Wait some days between submission. They usually pick our stories althougth it may take a day or two.)
LinuxToday (Wait some days between submission. They sometimes ignore our submissions. Seems to be due to the general amount of news.)
- Don't submit to:
del.icio.us (We're already bookmarked by many people, and the single stories will get submitted when they are useful - del.icio.us is not a news site.)
