[Marketing] Categories for press release?

[Sean DALY]

Yes Tomeu I confirm that marketing can get expensive quickly :-)

In fact to make the deadline I need to pay with PayPal, eReleases
needed a check a few days ago already to make today's submission
deadline.

I spent $600 on the last release and $1000 on the branded USB sticks
so i'm *very* motivated to find some funding

thanks

Sean
