Also, in terms of getting yourself more widely known among security
folks, you might consider attending conferences and training sessions
where others congregate.  A good, relatively low-cost choice is
Educause's Security Professionals Conference.  Next year's event is in
early May in Arlington, VA.  Security-related SANS conferences and
courses are also good places to meet and network with others.  They're
not nearly as low-priced as the SPC, but SANS-EDU events are heavily
discounted and are being offered more and more.
