Use the social media channels that are appropriate to reach your target attendees. We have found that for Web developers, this means Twitter, more than Facebook or LinkedIn. However, popular channels can vary geographically (such as Orkut in Brazil). Reach out to a few well-connected people who have a large following among your target audience, and ask them to re-share your posts. | Use the social media channels that are appropriate to reach your target attendees.

Here is a template you can use to describe a Hack-on-MDN event. Feel free to add more detail, and give it your own tone: | |||
: Come help improve {topic} on MDN Web Docs! In this full day hack-a-thon we'll be working to improve MDN Web Docs, the premier free resource for web developers. MDN Web Docs (developer.mozilla.org) is a source of references, guides, and tutorials on standards-based web technologies, much loved by web developers. It was chosen as #1 for Documentation in the Developer’s Choice Awards for 2018, conducted by SlashData. | |||
: Yet, MDN Web Docs needs help from {topic} experts and enthusiasts—whether you are a programmer, designer, or someone else who cares about {topic}. You can choose to work on {activity1}, work on {activity2}, or anything that you think makes sense. | |||
: During this {duration} hackathon, you will become familiar with how to contribute to MDN, and have fun collaborating with other participants. Activities will include a lot of coding, chatting, food, and fun. | |||
