I love the idea of doing another big push. I was talking to Joanie about
it and she was suggesting we do one following the hackfest, that way we
can report on work accomplished and the like. This makes sense to me, and
we can release the second testimonial if it's ready at the same time. What
do you think?

We should get a bunch of people to blog it that week too. And I'm
definitely mentioning the campaign in my linux.conf.au keynote on
Thursday. :)
