• Supporting marketing topic: PromoOpportunities

May I suggest pursuing, when appropriate, an interview request on FLOSS Weekly, http://twit.tv/FLOSS With Randal Schwartz and Leo Laporte.

They’re always looking for OpenSource stories to tell, and you'll certainly at no cost, get a ton of ears and eyes on the Fork project.

And obviously Randal is likely to have a soft spot for something PERL related. Randal takes interview scheduling requests at merlyn@stonehenge.com Weekly slots are booked up until Dec 3 currently so likely good to get a request in early: Interviews in the queue: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pYAJMbVobYCTro_z4LGo3ZQ

Craig: Cool. Could you organize that? -- MartinSeibert - 30 Nov 2008

I can if resources are scarce. I'm not sure I have enough insight into who on the Dev team has enough sense of the history, time available for an interview in the Pacific Time Zone, and a face for radio But if you want to give me some short list names, otherwise I can put out a query on the Mailing list.

Betreff: Foswiki on FLOSS Weekly?

Dear Sirs,

my Name is Martin Seibert. I am a member of the Foswiki community and responsible for marketing of the open source project. It would be both a very big honor and a big opportunity to present our Free and Open Source Wiki (Foswiki) on your "show".

It is a perl based wiki fork of TWiki and is supported by 99% of the former TWiki developers.

A lot of information about Foswiki is available on our website and on wikipedia:
http://www.foswiki.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foswiki

I would love to hear from you and have an interview with you. I will also happily help you to get other Foswiki community members to be available for an interview.

Best regards

Martin Seibert
Head of Marketing for the Foswiki Community

Hi Randal,

thanks for your answer to the Foswiki community. For your interview I would like to suggest the following three people:

- Crawford Currie (cc@c-dot.co.uk, +44-1606-330-242) is one of our lead developers. He knows the system and its perl structure inside out.
- Kenneth Lavrsen (kenneth@lavrsen.dk, ???) is the release manager. He knows the community very well and is our respected force, making the project thrive.
- Martin Seibert (mseibert@seibert-media.net, +49 611 2057020), that's me. I am responsible for marketing for the Foswiki community.

Please add us three to your list. We will be happy and honored to have an interview with you.

Kenneth: Please send your phone number to randal also.

Best regards

Martin Seibert
