Hi Aurélien,

as a developer of hydrogen let me chime in here.. I think it could be a

good idea

to think a little bit about the "marketing" of our applications. At the

moment

the presentation of hydrogen is more or less restricted to our homepage

and our mailing lists.

I've posted rarely to a facebook group (i think you didn't find it), but

that was all. It's hard and cumbersome to use all channels at once

(twitter, google+, etc...) if all you want to do is publish a release

notification or something like this..

Do you have any specific ideas there? Maybe a "linux audio booth" at

fairs would be a nice idea as a joined project. I had this idea earlier

for hydrogen, but it is very hard for one small project to organize (and

pay for) such an event.
