Getting good PR for your open source
project

Public relations is where volunteer-run open source projects usually fall down hardest, even worse than documentation, so here's a little primer on how to get the media to write nice things about what you're doing. There will be an IRC discussion about promoting your open source project Saturday, April 24, at 2000 UTC. IRC server = events.oftc.net, #promo.

It's due out shortly in public beta but I haven't seen it, so for now I only know what you can also learn from reading, among others: Dan Farber, Ross Mayfield, Om Malik, David Weinberger, and Paul Kedrosky (whose recent archive is missing this morning, yikes).
