Marketing and messages
For the booth to become a success we need to do both internal and external marketing. We will be promoting FOSDEM on the Community Development mailing lists and will ask Sally and Swapnil to help us with blog posts and news bulletins.
It might be good to send an email out to all our projects as the conference is completely free.
