Having Lubuntu show up on these publications is a worthwhile and
extremely valuable objective. One I am not against and one that the word
Linux will not prevent. Go for it!
I was just hoping that at some point we could target stuff that non IT
professionals read. But maybe that will come later on? Maybe it is not
realistic to try that this soon in the project's existance.
Regarding the request for hard data, all I have is what I see in the
marketplace. The great success stories without exception avoid the word
Linux. Obviously if someone has access to market research that says the
contrary, please go ahead and share it.
In any case, being noticed by IT publications would be huge and might be
a more intresting objective for the short to medium term rather than
what I was suggesting.

For example, if we keep using the word Linux in our communication, we will
keep scaring away the same 90 to 95% of potential users; the non-technical

I've seen that old canard pop up over time more than once. Before giving
it any credence, I'd prefer to see hard data and market analysis.
More important that what it is called is how much it is covered in the
media. There is a little coverage in the mainstream tech media. That is
a good start. For example, PCWorld has covered Fedora Linux on several
occasions. If we can get Lubuntu (and the others) covered this year, that
would be great. Places to try would be PCWorld, PC Magazine, eWeek,
InfoWorld, InformationWeek, and others. I'm sure there are many more,
each with a slightly different focus.
