After ldc and dub both got their first stable release this year and we now have a beautiful tour for beginners, it's time for making more noise about D.

In this thread [1] it was suggested to send press releases from the D Foundation to (major) IT press. I think that's a great idea and we should explore how feasible it is to do this a couple of times a year. After the media has still a huge impact on us all - here are two quotes:

From [1]:

> I got my first hint to D via this announcement of
D compiling with D: http://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Programmiersprache-D-Compiler-ist-jetzt-selbst-in-D-geschrieben-2869589.html

From the recent D blog article [2]:

> Rainer Schuetze first discovered D shortly after work on D2 began.
It must have been an article in the German c’t magazine (maybe this one [3]) that brought my attention to the D language

I think we could setup a simple process that requires sign-off by either Walter or Andrei (Present and Vice-President of the D Foundation).
Has anyone here already experience/affiliation in collaborating with the IT press?

FWIW I talked with Mike a bit about this [4] and we could have a special category in the D blog ;-)

Cheers,

Seb
