Not at the moment. I tried to find that on my sent items but couldn't but
that should not be hard. A quick google search, can bring a list of many IT
Websites, Magazines, etc that can be contacted.

Steven Vaughan-Nichols: is the one I have asked to publish an article about
StartUbuntu but he didn't yet AFAIK. I have asked him twice.

Why not? :)
I have contacted several parties so I guess if the team wants to play a
role in this, why not?

It should not be hard. Few words to summarize everything with a link of
StartUbuntu Wiki Page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu

It shouldn't talk more than 5-15 mins MAX to do that.

Are you referring to a standard text that we can write and use it as a
template to be sent to other parties?
