Hey all:
Recently Marie Nordin, Matthew Miller, and Ben Cotton reached out to me about the current disposition of the Fedora Project's Twitter account, @fedora, in my capacity as upstream social media advisor in Red Hat's Open Source Program Office.
At this time, it seems that the account is not being regularly maintained, though the three people above and others have taken turns to keep content going. In my capacity as an advisor, I have put together a document[1] that outlines my suggestions on moving the account forward. I would love an opportunity to discuss how I can help your committee implement these ideas, and create new ideas and policies!
Thanks, Brian

The document looks very interesting at first glance. This seems to be a good answer to "how to handle Fedora's twitter". It seems to me that the other problem is "who is handling this". Do you have any suggestions for that, too?
Mariie, Matthew, Ben what are your thoughts regarding this?
Thanks Till

Hi Brian- thank you for putting this together, it looks great!
Till- I was also thinking "who would handle this?". My thought is it should be people interested in social media who have the time to work on this. I think it would be too much for the folks managing the account to also be responsible for all the content. Perhaps we need a pagure repo where any Fedora contributor can submit content, or even an Element channel where folks can drop links and short snips of info that they want promoted via the Fedora twitter account. (Definitely open to other ideas on how to gather submissions, not sure if either of these ideas hit the mark.) From there, the previously mentioned interested volunteers could edit and schedule tweets at their own pace.
I think Mindshare should help to set up an initial process, but I don't see us owning this work as a Committee long-term. Reasoning for that: 1) have enough things we are doing as a Committee (and a long list of things we wish could get to already) and 2) we are all heavily involved in other parts of Fedora and have commitments in those spaces already.
Looking forward to thoughts from more folks on the team! Best,

Hi all,
First, thanks for the document, it's super useful. And now part of my .... complaint ... comments ....
Well, I was in charge of the marketing team a while ago, when that was a thing. The problem with the content was that no one appears to know who can publish content or how it was managed. At some point we (and for "we'' I mean "I") were redirected to the ML fedora-socialmedia-members@fedoraproject.org, but usually takes ages for the members of that list to respond and I never took the time to research who the members are.
I propose to use a ML, it's simpler, easier to automate, and easily manageable. Also, a pagure repo would work, since it's git based. The main thing would be we need "moderators" that can consult Mindshare about dubious content, and a set of guidelines (like the Magazine guidelines[1]) of what content should go. I would like to volunteer myself to do it, if there is no objection. Reasons: - I know a lot about policies of content Fedora related (I was a Magazine writer, I've redacted the YT policy of content for the Fedora Channel[2], and I'm the host of the podcast where content is a main characteristic we think about what fit into the program) - I have the time, since I'm not in any other committee or body anymore. - I like twitter.
I have other things in mind, but I don't want to split this conversation into several topics, better to keep it centered in the Twitter account content.
