Post-meeting: Stuff To Do
http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/TODO will be updated shortly, but this week's round of tasks:

Not taken, need help!

 * #TODO - set up "here's how to get swag" designs/links from FOSDEM and SCaLE that are reusable for other people
 * #TODO - post a "who's who" with who has what marketingteam responsibilities

Taken

 * #TODO - erikos is running point on LinuxTag, see http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Events ( because erikos is AWESOME. )
 * #TODO mchua to do one last remindershout about FOSDEM followup (Simon did such a great job with this that I actually think we're set.)
 * #TODO walterbender to approach Belkin about sticks for LinuxTag
 * #TODO walterbender and tomeu to follow up about their conversation with Patrick, if tomeu can get clearance to publish
 * #TODO SeanDALY to post the excellent "sugar-branded shoulder straps for XO owners" idea on Swag wikipage
 * #TODO jt4sugar to find marketing team lead; followup on walterbender, SeanDALY, jt4sugar, and caroline's conversations
 * #TODO walterbender to post notes from George Snell convo on the marketing mailing list ;)
 * #TODO mchua get jt4sugar's "how to blog" pdf pushed through mailing list moderation (Emailed John asking for the files; message probably too large to make it through moderation, which would make it a bad idea to actually send it out.)
 * #TODO SeanDALY is now Press Release Guru - sends out press releases, maintains press list
 * #TODO SeanDALY post "how to handle SL press releases!" stuff on the MarketingTeam wiki, and then poke the marketing mailing list to get people to do it
