I think the Linux publicity project does at least that many. It has nothing to do with whether on not you release a product (yes, that's good for a press-pack, and a T-shirt is a good press-pack freebie), but "...plans to" and "...has ported to" and "...now supports" and "...can run XXX's binaraies" and so on... I sent some samples of "press release ideas" under seperate cover. There's a difference between "publicity" and "marketing".
