Spreading the word about FUDCon Berlin

[Max Spevack]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to take a moment to talk a little bit about our Marketing and 
Press plans for FUDCon Berlin and LinuxTag, which is taking place in 
June.

Last week, Red Hat issued a press release about the event, but that is 
just the first in what is going to be a larger marketing campaign.

Because we are partnering with LinuxTag this year for FUDCon, they have 
agreed to allow us to use their press contacts in Germany and other 
parts of Europe to help spread the word about the event.

Henrik Heigl has agreed to take responsibility for helping to craft our 
plan for bringing as much exposure as we can to FUDCon Berlin and 
LinuxTag this year, and I will be working with him to roll out further 
announcements about the daily schedules, speakers, and other highlights 
of FUDCon Berlin.

Because a task like this requires lots of teamwork and collaboration 
(both on this mailing list and also with other parts of Red Hat, with my 
serving as a go-between) to be done correctly, I wanted to take a moment 
to "officially" introduce him to the list, though many of you already 
know him, and to thank him for taking this important leadership role.

Our goal is to have the most agressive pre-FUDCon marketing strategy 
ever seen, that can set the template for how we advertise all future 
FUDCons.
