Re: Marketing Activities at GUADEC

I'm happy to help write/review texts during the conference.

I think one thing that is cool is to promote a certain hashtag people 
can use when tweeting about the event (or just wanting to check what 
others are saying). It's cool if the hashtag is indicated in the badge 
or in any posters and stuff.

Not only the keynotes, but also the actual schedule of the conference. 
This is the kind of thing that may attract attendees that are not core 
contributors. Would be nice to interview some of the speakers and make 
some buzz around the talks too, as we had last GUADEC.

Best,
Fabiana
