We will be holding a Promo BoF on September 9, Monday Morning. This task is to gather stuff you would like to talk about as part of the team. Put your ideas in the comments.
Please take a look at Promo's Goals and keep them in mind when proposing ideas.

I'll be at Akademy and provided no other obligations come up, I'll try to attend this BoF.

If there is enough time and interest in this, during the BoF we could look at the current process and think of ways to improve it. I know a lot of people in the community are against "codifying" things and creating rigid structures, but in this case I think it would benefit everyone if we just wrote down an SOP that must always be followed.

Can Promo still rely on them to do their part in the announcement process, or should we look for other ways to connect with developers?
Finally, we should all agree on some basics (and write that down!!) to make things easier for everyone. Stuff like:
