[Mageia-marketing] Fwd: Media Query: Interview Request With Mageia

[Patricia Fraser]

Hi,

Apologies for top-post!

Muktware.com's ask for writers is 750 words; they deal mainly with
Ubuntu, Android, smartphones and suchlike. Also, they want exclusive
content - $10 isn't a lot of money for exclusive!

I'm not sure that they're the greatest fit for the people we want to
reach just at the moment - maybe when we get to the Release
Candidate? They're for users rather than developers, and right now
we want developers and testers. Maybe we can write back saying
thanks! We'll keep this in mind for when we've got something that
will interest your readers - ?

press@ needs to go to {some people|a person} in Comms team -
marketing can happily write stuff up, but Comms should keep track of
who, where, when. 

My 2c!

Cheers,
