Ideas on how to promote the JCM?

[porwig]

Let's have a discussion about different ideas on how to promote the JCM which will launch on July 1. This discussion is for brainstorming so that means there is no such thing as a bad idea!

Here are some ideas which have come from the JCM team members. What other ideas do you have?

Big ideas

• Do you know of media outlets, news or blog websites, etc., that you think would be good fits to write a story about the JCM? Better yet, do you have any personal contacts there that you can either approach about doing a JCM, or invite them to contact us?
• Make podcast interview appearances
• Try to get an announcement at people.joomla.org
• Try to get an announcement on joomla.org
• Add a blog post on commmunity.joomla.org
• Add a Magazine link on community.joomla.org
• Create a quarterly "Best of JCM" PDF edition
• Cross promotions with 3PDs who provide GPL extensions

Small but simple and powerful ideas

• Add a link to the JCM in your sig
• Update your status on this site when the JCM launches
• Send tweets to all your friends
• Look for appropriate opportunities to add blog comments on other websites with links to relevant JCM articles
