I spoke to her about lug and she was really interested , and when i
explained about software freedom day , she wanted to know more and she
said it sounds interesting and 99% it would be on their section.

Great going. But as far as I know for anything to catch Media
attention it should be a *gossip* ;-) or a personality or something
crazy happening around...<snipped>
not really , we dont have to dress up like tux to catch attention , the very
fact that lug does social service and helps educating masses and that most
proffessionals inspite thier tight shedule contribute to the community for
no returns is something very interesting and to be highly appreciated and
its this very fact that has catched thier attention .If I, only a person
active for say one month can say so much abt lug , i am sure that there are
many of you who can give more specific details to let the city know whats
happening in thier habitat .The expected outcome is obvious , more awareness
, more chances of ppl who need help approaching us , and a better reason and
awareness of prospective members to share the responsibilities of lug :) And
since the events which have already passed are not there in chennailug.org ,
the mailing is the only source i can turn to for more details.

Hi,
Not to be taken seriously(though I ain't stopping you ;-), Why not try
this original idea..ahem. How about getting a snap of M.S.Dhoni hugging
tux and feeding it to the frenzy press? After all, that chap is going
around endorsing almost everything and gets enviable media coverage.
If done, the headlines next day would possibly be like..
" *MS* (Dhoni) endorses Linux "
If I am right, the Indian Cricket team is currently in Chennai and the
above said thing could very well be possible if you have the right
connections.
