while it would be ideal to be notified by the various groups beforehand,
it will not always happen, because people tend to forget these things. A
more proactive approach would be for the marketing team to monitor the
schedules of the two GNOME Event Boxes. The organizers could then be
contacted beforehand.

Why not send out these brochures to Openismus and whoever maintains the
American event box right away? If Murray places the brochures inside the
box, they will be used for sure and we do not need to ping everyone in
advance. That would cover most of the bigger events automatically.
