Getting some attention for Olio

[Craig L Russell <cr...@oracle.com>]

Hi,

I've talked to Sally Khudairi who runs Apache PR, and she offered some  
advice and help.

1. We can't make a press release since we're in the incubator, but

2. We can make some publicity. Take a look at the buzz on the Apache  
front page apache.org paying special attention to the FOP and Pivot  
stories https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_apache_software_foundation_announces7 
  and https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_asf_asks_have_you

If we (the olio community) provide the story, Sally can provide the  
venue.

So here's what we need. Taking the stories above as models write up  
why anyone should care about olio. Interview users, go back through  
the email archives, find users who find olio's technology compelling  
and write it up.

It's best if we can name names, but in the absence of permission, just  
anonymize the stories.

With a draft in hand, Sally will work with us to get the word out.

Thanks Craig. I did see Sally's note and was trying to figure out what to
ask for.
Your input makes a lot of sense. I will take the AI to talk to a few users.

Shanti
