We now have the @fedora Twitter account reassigned to us. Obviously I
don't want to just put the password here :-) but let's discuss the
next steps. A couple things I'd recommend:
* Establish an @fp.o email alias so that when the account receives
email it goes to one or more people responsible for reading and
acting on it.
* Adding the account to HootSuite or whatever tool we plan to use to
manage it. Ensure that more than one person has the ability to do
that addition and other HS management.
* Figure out a plan for transitioning followers from @fedora_linux to
@fedora.

Yay! Very exciting, thanks Paul!
Regarding an alias, I thought of these:
twitter(a)fp.o
socialmedia(a)fp.o - multi-purpose/reusable
Someone will need to initially add it to their own individual
hootsuite account using the credentials for that twitter account. Once
that's done, said individual can create a "team" and grant others
similar status and permissions.
As far as transitioning users, my initial thoughts (for whatever
little that may be worth) would be to issue multiple tweets from
@fedora_linux properly-timed and spaced apart admonishing followers to
follow @fedora as that will be where all further tweets would emanate
from.
An additional idea that I had would be to procure an existing or
newly-created image to serve as the twitter background when folks
visit the twitter page(s) in their browser. Thoughts?

I'll file that ticket of awesome with design. I'm thinking it would
be super cool to incorporate the 4 foundations pieces somehow - in
conjunction with logo design, of course. Or even using some of the
freedom bird art
(http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/Posters/Fre...)
- although it is somewhat similar to the twitter bird.
My question, of course, is: What is the first "official" tweet going
to say? Are we going to just continue on as usual - or do we want to
take the moment to say something fun / cool / meaningful?

https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/136 has been filed - if
anyone has any ideas, I would say to just go ahead and put those ideas

Would the twitter(a)fp.o get only twitter mail notifications? Or were

My thinking is that the email alias would only be used for
notifications of new followers as well as direct messages or any other
administrative notification from Twitter. The DMs can also be seen in
HootSuite. All that being said, if we're having the same or even
somewhat-close-to-same set of people oversee/maintain/manage the
various social media outlets, then I see more value in having a common
socialmedia(a)fp.o type address. If that's not the case, then perhaps
separate aliases for each social media outlet is better. It's a
thought provoking question.

My personal vote would be for fun / cool / meaningful because, I mean,
who wants to be the opposite of those things ? As Paul said moments
ago in #fedora-mktg, the first @fedora tweet would need to wait till
after the RH summit

Hey,
What I feel is we should just create a new FAS group for this, something
like, socialmedia(or what ever name we might end up choosing), and make it a
invite only group.With it we will get an email alias such as
<fas-group-name>-members(a)fp.org, so we have two things done at once, 1) No
one from outside can subscribe to it, 2) Avoid setting up an extra mailing
list. And as for the first tweet, we should probably send one out right now
(Something like : Get some love! <link to download page>).
Just my 2p.

Good point, I put a starter tweet out there.
One additional thing that occurred to me is that the Red Hat Summit
staff already knows about, and will be promoting, the @fedora_linux
feed. I'm interested in making sure our timing is right for the
transition. We have over 7,500 followers on @fedora_linux, and
ideally we want every single one of them to follow @fedora (and more).
Would we want to wait until after the Summit, so that we don't create
confusion? And take that time to plan our strategy for how to get
people to follow the new account?

Why worry about moving people over you can just post the same content to
both accounts.

Better to have certainty about where the updates are coming. Here's a
suggestion I got from a social media professional to whom I talked:
1. Send out notices to the deprecating account (fedora_linux) at least
three, two, and one week before the move, encouraging people to follow
@fedora.
2. On the day of the move, post a last notice to the deprecated
account saying, "Follow us at @fedora."

Maybe twitter people can help by moving subscribers from the old to
the new account?

Someone suggested this to me elsewhere. Leaving aside the issue of
whether Twitter would help do this at all, the question I had was,
would we run a risk of people thinking we were violating some sort of
norm or etiquette by changing their subscription without permission?
If we were Nike, I'd bet no one would care. Fedora's follower crowd
probably has different expectations than Nike fans.

I think the best solution for this is to have a project blog, and then
we could use a rss->twitter/identi.ca engine that would automatically
post anytime the blog was updated.
The Blog posts could be written from the stuff emailed. That way 1. We
don't have to use non-free web services and 2. people who aren't in the
twidentica space still have an avenue to see what we found important
enough to tweet/dent.

I like your sugestion... I even think that it may be good to copy that
