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.
