[committee] promotion

[Chris Fernstrum]

Hello UCC,

I am contacting you for a bit of advice.  Recently, my company (Coraid)
introduced an upgraded version of its storage product.  The product is a
Linux friendly, Ethernet networked storage chassis (EtherDrive) and I am
trying to get word out.  Australia has shown a good amount of interest in
our product judging by the numbers that visit our website via
Google/Australia.

It is not my intention to directly promote our products, but ask your advice
on where advertising dollars would best be spent in the Australian Linux
Market.  Perhaps you can tell me the most widely read Linux publications, or
magazines that have Linux sections?  Where should press releases be posted
in order to have the greatest impact?  And because our product uses new
technology (ATA over Ethernet protocol), what can you suggest for getting
the message to "grass roots", early adoptors such as you, the Linux User
Groups.  

Our products are doing well here in the U.S.  Coraid has created an
excellent alternative to traditional options; namely low cost, scalable,
Ethernet connected storage.  I just want to let Linux Users in Australia
know about this option.  Any help you might provide would be appreciated.

Oh yea, I like the Coke machine.

Thank you,

Chris Fernstrum
