Hi all,
As the developers put the final touches on the 0.91 release, it's high time to plan a media blitz to get this announced to all our users.
I'd like to recruit and organize a formal team to do marketing for Inkscape. This'll involve writing copy, planning announce strategies, notifying news sites, coordinating with parallel fundraising efforts, and more. We'll be organizing an online IRC meeting soon to coordinate these activities. Sound like fun?
Ryan Lerch, Josh Andler, and myself are already signed on; we've been through the release announcement process before so we're old hands. But we're looking for new ideas and fresh blood, so that we can go beyond what we've achieved in the past.
Interested? Reply to this email and introduce yourself!

P.S. Inkscape's past marketing teams have left us a wealth of notes we can use to build from. Two items in particular:
