Tensen, you can find more info about the series of PDF chats that were proposed by Warden on this thread, and get a transcript of the first PDF chat by clicking on this link:
http://www.emeraldpress.net/PDFchat110120041.txt
This thread is for any follow-up questions we may have after the chat.
Personally, I found the first chat quite enlightening for a couple of reasons. One, it seems we're all floundering around when it comes to writing a press release, trying to find something that works. Makes me feel good, because the one PR I have done seems to come out good (though I have no idea if it really had any effect, except for one sale in particular), but as the time (quickly) approaches for my next product to be released I find myself thinking if (a) I should make a PR, and (b) if I do, what to put in it. Something I need to think about.
The other thing I found very interesting was that for Phil Reed/Ronin Arts, PR have no effect on sales; it's almost as if Ronin Arts has become so successful it has surpassed the need for a PR.
Phil's idea of cross-marketing was a great one, and one we should really put into action come the holidays: come up with a massive coordinated sale between various publishers so we can all benefit from the promotion and traffic.
There were some other things I had in mind that escape me now, so I'll come later with some more thoughts.
Definitely looking forward the next chat. These have the potential to help us all better ourselves as publishers, and thus better the PDF industry.

Hopefully more people will show up for the next chat. The first one was really great.
Brought a tear to me eyes seein' all these fine publishers gathered together... 
Perhaps that should be the focus of our next chat, since it will be in the start of December. Coming up with a big, co-ordinated PDF sale with a name that all of us can use on our sites would be an excellent idea, but I would think that it would be better served in January or such. PDF sales are quite low during the actual holidays as people are spending their money buying physical gifts rather than online downloads. But, we can talk about this in greater detail for the next PDF chat if we like.
And then we can all come up with a press release for it.
