How to improve the coordination and priorities for marketing Drupal?
After attending Drupalcon London and listening to Dries keynote I decided to look into one of the points of opportunity for Drupal - better marketing (Hi group). I've found the process a bit confusing and it's raised a number of issues that I think might be preventing people from getting involved.

Photo collection of community members in various Drupal t-shirts?
The Community page of drupal.org needs more of a 'human' feel to it, and we've had so many great Drupal event t-shirts over the years (and some of us have stylish new Drupal t-shirts from renewing DA memberships).
Do you think a photo collection of community members in their t-shirts could be useful for marketing the Drupal community, and making the Community section more appealing? The community section needs some reworking, see issue http://drupal.org/node/1288470
I could make a Flickr group that anyone could add photos too (no doubt, many photos already exist!).
Thoughts?

Statistics about the Drupal Security Team
Hello Security folks and marketers,
I'm collaborating with Jojo Toth (mogdesign) on a marketing piece about security in Drupal. It will mostly be about the process of handling an issue. We're trying to brainstorm what statistics we might want to use, but most of them end up seeming negative when you first look at them. For example, if we brag that we handled ~60 issues in 2011 then that looks like Drupal is insecure ("wow, 60 issues is a lot!") until you dig into the facts that this was across Drupal core and ~5,000 contributed projects.
General Press Releases for and about Drupal
I just runned somehow over heise.de into http://www.pressebox.de/
And just made a quick search for Drupal -> 42 results.
Compared to Wordpress (155), Joomla (103), Typo3 (310), Coremedia (61), FirstSpirit (126) Drupal is too rare I guess.
Remark that this is just 1 german press-site. I have not checked other services or made a research on this with google.
Do others of you have some numbers and facts on this topic?
CxO Survey: We need your input to create a training day that fits your business needs
I thought the marketing group might like to take this survey because a) you might want marketing training b) you are a business person and might like training on other business topics.
DrupalCon Denver will hold another CxO event - a one day business training event for business leaders of Drupal-related businesses (web development shops, training companies, etc.). The event is open to all business leaders in the Drupal ecosystem and there will be a minimal fee to cover catering, speakers, etc. (Cost TBD)
The CxO goal is to help companies strengthen their business operations with:
