Media coverage ideas

[Wade Kwon]

Haven't landed any media interviews for Jeremy yet, but typically
media waits till last minute, which doesn't help our attendee
recruitment drive.

I have two ideas to bounce off you:

1. Recruit media types like Kyle Whitmire (Bham Weekly and 2008
attendee) and Scott Walker (Bham News) to present.

Kyle could talk about revamping bhamweekly.com to new Wordpress site.
Scott could talk about making the digital newsstand:

http://www.designondeadline.com/digitalnewsstand/index.html

And we ask them to write about it ahead of time in respective pubs.

2. Ask everyone to e-mail Jerry Underwood (biz editor at Bham News) or
your choice of TV personality to do preview piece on Barcamp.

Comments? Questions? Concerns? Go for it?

Kyle actually attended last year. Since they are a weekly, this would
be the week to get them to do something.

I like the preview idea. This thought might go against the
unconference theme, but what if all the planners went ahead and shared
their presentation titles / topics with Underwood and McCauley?

With social media so hot right now, maybe we give the News a few
sample topics.

People are currently proposing sessions on the web site, so it's not
like Kyle and Scott couldn't propose their sessions as well.

I e-mailed Kyle and Scott asking if they'd be interested in giving
presentations.
