marketing a perl class

hi,

i am producing a class on advanced OO perl being taught by damian conway
in boston in july. here is the page on it:

http://www.sysarch.com/perl/OOP_class.html

i am looking for more ideas on how to market it to as wide an audience
as possible. i already emailed the perl monger groups leader list and
boston.pm and have 6-7 registrants. i have many ideas and i want to see
if you think they are good too.

i am emailing various people i know at local companies and asking them
to mail it to their perl hackers. no brainer.

there are many perl lists out there (lists.perl.org). obviously i don't
want to spam all of them. i am thinking of mailing to all/most of the
list owners and asking them to forward the url if they think it is
appropriate. what do you think?

i know of a major LISA (sysadmins) list in boston that i am on. i can
mention it there or should i wait until i do a presentation to them next
month.

i will be adding the url to my signature and that will be seen in various
lists and newsgroups. i will also post a few times to c.l.p.misc and
modules and hopefully won't get flamed away. i almost would flame
someone else if they did it. :) but i think a quick mention is ok. i can
ask some of the regulars off line what they think.

so you see i am doing plenty and have ideas. what are your comments on
them? what avenues do you use to reach perl hackers in your area (so far
i have more out of towners than locals registered). damian conway is a
great draw and that helps a lot.

thanx,

uri
