as Slovakia's accession date to the Eurozone gets closer, the time looks right to talk a bit about coordinating our efforts for spreading the word about EBT among the newcomers.
I'm sorry if this theme could have already been dealt with in other languages, but I found nothing in the English section.
In 2007, the introduction of the euro in Slovenia was a big success for us, thanks to an "avalanche effect" - I can't remember who managed to make it start, and how. EBT was widely advertised in the news reports dealing with the new currency, and we had a tremendous number of users registering right since January 1st.
In 2008, the euro came to Malta and Cyprus right when our website was split in two parts, both being flooded with fake notes and insulting profile names. We got some users from there - especially from Malta - but we could have done something better.
Has anything been already planned as of how to contact the Slovakian press and make sure they know that, if there's some blank space left on the frontpage article about the euro to be published January 1st, they can mention EBT?
Especially, do some eastern Austrian users - due to their proximity - have direct links with Slovakia or the Slovakian press, or does anybody master (for some reason) the language, so that (s)he's able to translate a possible press release of us in Slovakian for the local newspapers?
