So, as volunteer publicity coordinator, I thought I should brainstorm on more ways to get the word out. Here's what I've come up with so far.
- National "got whitespace?" skywriting campaign
- Spread urban legend about programmer whose kidneys are stolen by organ smugglers when he fails to attend PyCon
- Invite presidential candidates to debate their choice of Python web framework at PyCon
- Post hilarious "DO NOT WANT STATIC MANIFEST TYPING!!1!" pic at icanhascheezburger
- Vote Guido into final round of American Idol
- Bribe fortune cookie factory employee to replace fortunes with "PYCON 2008 CHICAGO IN BED"
- Use laser to engrave giant announcement in the moon's surface
- JEN IN TEARS AFTER ANGELINA'S LIGHTNING TALK

and what have you. Even beating the old horses of appengine and Nebula, youtube, whatever. A nice concise, "all the nerdy kids are using it" flyer. Maybe I will make one and put it up near http://...pycon.../publicize/
I'm local to Atlanta so I want to get somethings going with the local schools for 2010/11
