The most obvious place that comes into my mind is trac-users ML ...
but I don't whether that might considered *subversive* , spam-ish and
/ or inappropriate .

Beyond that I write articles for TuxInfo magazine (Argentina) . It's
published on a monthly frequency . Last article published in December
.

Other mags I am familiar with are :

  - The Python Papers (English language , Australia or New Zealand afaicr)
  - Programmez (French language, France)

Another approach could be python and similar mailing lists . I could
forward the announcements to python-es@... but I guess the third IPMC
vote for release in general@... should come first
;)
