[SOLVED] Promoting Arch

Just wondering, is there anyone who officially deals with promoting Arch and/or advertising it?

Maybe not something of a great importance, but isn't "the more the merrier"? The so called point-and-click users will get filtered during the installation process anyway.

Besides the Arch Schwag, is there anything we can do to show off/promote this amazing distro? :)

P.S. The Facebook fanpage and group both seem kind of dry and dead.

Re: [SOLVED] Promoting Arch

I agree with MrElendig. I was converted to Arch through word of mouth (I knew a few people who used it). In my opinion, our best way to grow is simply through letting our existing users tell their friends who might already use another distro. I usually recommend it to people as a step up from Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.
