"Golden chance to translate Fedora 24 in your language"
by Justin W. Flory 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hi all, At 8:00 UTC (4:00am US EST), 2016-03-31, a new article will be published on the CommBlog. https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/translate-fedora-24-in-your-languag… The G11n team is organizing a vFAD over this next week, and they could use some additional social media exposure on this blog post. Any extra highlighting / social media spotlight would be appreciated once it is published! Thanks. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

It is possible to generate tailored messages within Jetpack for posts to automatically go out when an article is published, but this can cause problems when you post to multiple platforms (e.g. tagging @thisThing works on Twitter but doesn't on Facebook, Google+ has +thisThing and nobody else does, etc.). In short, I think carefully curating the content posted to the "main" social media account is the right way to do it, even if it's more manual labor. As for the Community Blog proposals listed by jzb, I'm +1 to both. I see no harm in having *ALL* CommBlog posts go to @fedoracommunity, but sometimes there might be an article that is worthwhile to share with the greater community, even those who aren't exclusively contributors to Fedora. Therefore, I also see no harm in having Community Blog articles posted to official @Fedora accounts while keeping the @fedoracommunity account standing. In my eyes, the idea is that we handpick content from the CommBlog that should be syndicated with the larger social media presence. Not everything that comes out on the CommBlog needs to be shared on all the accounts all the time. To help answer that question about who is behind Fedora social media, I CC'd the social media list in case anyone with privileges is watching that list and can chime in to confirm. As far as Twitter goes, I don't actively see the @Fedora account replying or engaging with replies or content, but I wonder if this is a manpower issue? This came up between me and bkp at a meeting, I think, but there are not any SOPs documenting how to get involved with social media or how someone can contribute outside of posting to the social-media mailing list. If more hands are needed for this, I would also be happy to volunteer some time to help with engagement. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Hi, I know some of these already hit the social media channels earlier, but I'm not sure if both did. In either case, here are the links to a two-part interview with Matthew Miller about Fedora. Pt. 1 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3048317/open-source-tools/getting-to-kn… Pt. 2 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3048819/open-source-tools/fedora-leader… -- Cheers, Justin W.

I think your report is something everyone in the Project should at least look over to see the kind of stories that can be told with our existing infrastructure, like Badges and fedmsg (looking forward to taking a look at BrickHack next)! I'm CCing a few extra lists for this reply: * Ambassadors: Great read to see how we can measure impact at events and justify an event from a budget perspective by finding a way to turn the "people interactions" into quantifiable data * Social Media / Marketing: This would be a great thing to highlight on the official Fedora feeds. I'm going to post it to /r/Fedora on Reddit and the Telegram announcement group momentarily. Getting this on Facebook / Twitter / Google+ would be a great thing to do! If anyone from these other lists has feedback on the actual article or wants to discuss it further, please make sure you reply to the CommOps list to prevent cross-posting across the lists. Thanks everyone! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
