4.2 press plan?
Hi folks,
AFAIK, we don't currently have any plans around promoting the 4.2
release. 4.2 is a pretty big release, and something we should
highlight and be proud of.
At a minimum we need the following:
A release announcement - something that highlights the new stuff, and
reasons for people to get excited. Preferably something we can also
send to press@ and get them involved with.
Ideally we'd have a number of people blogging about the event.
Contact some press-types to alert them to the fact that we released
and that it's a big deal. :)
There is of course a ton more that could be done. Anyone interested in
picking this up?

Hi Mathias,
I'd be happy to ask our marketing organization to produce outreach
information around the SolidFire plug-in for CS 4.2.
Would you be able to contact me at mike.tutkowski@solidfire.com and I can
send whatever info you might have to the right people?
Thanks!

I've updated the marketing plan based off of all of this. I would also
like to coordinate some exterior blogs, tweets and social media outputs
that we can put out on the day of and in the days following the release.
Also I am wondering if we have contacts to our commit partners like Cisco,
Solidfire (Mike) and others that have new features in the release to brag
about their work with ACS as well.

Awesome and agreed.

Yep - subject to specific timeslot availability.
I'm also going to give press@ a heads up that we are announcing and
doing our own press outreach.

I'd be happy to help out with press outreach. I would suggest that we make the official announcement on Tuesday, October 1st at 12:00pm Eastern and I will send out the request for briefings on Monday, September 30th. Any thoughts?
David and Chip - are you available to take briefings next week? I can arrange the appointments.

The sixth round of voting is going on now, and could close for real this
time. ;-)
We're being very careful about upgrade issues that come up, but in
short, marketing / PR planning needs to kick off quickly so we can pull
the trigger.
