I'd like to propose we try something along these lines:

 * we announce them as out of beta, explain what they are and why they exist
 * blog a tutorial -- maybe divide it into more than one post, so it
doesn't overwhelm Planet Ubuntu
 * back the tutorial up with a screencast that can also act as a bit of a promo.

We should also talk to OMG Ubuntu!, Ars and others.

Unless anyone has any objections, I'll take care of this.
