Or make sure press releases about upcoming meetings and installfests
consistently get sent to all local media that run "calendar" or
"upcoming events" sections, which is about all of them.

I will go on making Linux presentations to non-Linux groups, same as
always. The next big one I have scheduled is at an IT management
conference in Mexico City the second week in February. I now do between
10 and 15 "Linux demo" speeches per year.
