How to keep track of Fedora press

This page is largely taken from Sean Daly's email on how Sugar Labs monitors press - a draft started by Mel Chua that needs substantial cleanup.

No automagical system - I prefer "very light" - just persistent monitoring with tools, and judicious sharing of interesting links to the SL marketing list; I try to tag list messages with searchable terms. When I need to find messages, I use keywords plus "site:sugarlabs.org" Google syntax

And certainly not just me working, either - other marketing team members mail me or mail the list; most such caught articles are interesting. better to spend 30 seconds on a basic article (or false positive googled fake blog) than to miss an interesting article

keywords are everything - asky myself how will people try to google you?

• "sugar labs"
• "sugar on a stick"
• "olpc"
• "one laptop per child"
• others?

tools sites:

• Google news alerts
• Google blog alerts
• Technorati blog searches
• Smart news aggregator Newssift (http://www.newssift.com)
• Smart news aggregator Daylife (http://www.daylife.com)
• Lurking in forums where people discuss Sugar
• Paying close attention to what commenters say under articles about

OLPC and Sugar Labs

• Occasionally, other exotic sources such as Media Cloud
