Hi all,<br>I've been talking to several FLOSS media outlets to help raise awareness of the Pledgie campaign, and a few have written back to say they're interested. If we can create ads for them, they'll run at no cost between now and LGM. In exchange, we'd list each publication as a "media sponsor"<br>
<br>Here are the opportunities:<br><br>LWN.net:: LWN runs text-ads, we can have as many variations as we need. Each ad needs to have a "title" string no more than 48 characters, and a 100-character message body.<br>
<br>Linux Journal:: (and I quote):: "<span class="e" id="q_12860556e9e0b756_1">a banner ad, 300X250, 3 loops max, 30 second max for
initial movie, 12 - 15 fps max, PNG, JPG, GIF or Flash."<br><br>Linux Format:: they will run a specially-placed design for us, outside of their adserver system. Again, quoting:: </span>"Come up with whatever size works best for you - I'll make sure it's as prominent as I can. It won't run in the little banner space, so feel free to make something big ;)"<br>
<br>There are a couple of other possibilities still in the works, but we should move on these as soon as possible. I know we have blog-badge / button designs already for individual use, would anyone care to adapt one of those into a format one of these publications could use? Also, any suggestions for the text ad?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Nate<br>-- <br>nathan.p.willis<br><a href="mailto:nwillis@glyphography.com">nwillis@glyphography.com</a><br>aim/ym/gtalk:n8willis<br><a href="http://identi.ca/n8">identi.ca/n8</a><br>
