The use of social networks

[Kévin Raymond]

Hi there,

I am not involved in other social things than the Fedora Planet and
our mailing lists… So this email is about an idea that I won't resolve
by myself :).

We just had an IRC discussion about the use of our social network on websites.
Couldn't we set up a broadcasting service to publish on our official
Facebook, Google+, identi.ca and Twitter pages?
Like what is sent through the announce mailing list, or to auto-send
announce message about the beta availability, the release day…
Also shooting the release notes link would be great, has people still
come asking "Is there anybody know where to get the info about the new
features and capability of fedora 17?" (just this morning on -docs).

There could also be something that I am not aware of..

Cheers,

[Jayson Rowe]

I know there are a couple of G+ pages (not sure if they are 'official'):
https://plus.google.com/112917221531140868607/posts
https://plus.google.com/u/0/110514354576121733241/posts

(The first one only seems to have activity on it).

There is also a twitter feed here:
https://twitter.com/fedora/

I do not know who is responsible for updating to these.

I also just learned of two Facebook groups via Christoph Wickert this morning.

I'm happy to help with these any way I can, if help is needed.

There is also a Fedora Ambassadors Group on Linkedin if you just search
"Fedora Ambassadors". The link is

Thanks, but the question is not How many accounts we have. That's how to
broadcast news easily.

[Dan Mashal]

I’ve asked informally about this on IRC.

Things should be properly vetted before they are posted on behalf of the
organization.

In addition, these pages are not updated very well.

They’d be a great way to get feedback from users in a less hostile
environment (compared to IRC).

Also, many things can be put up there such as tutorials, faqs, and guides.

Also recent major bugfixes can be announced and people can post questions
and be answered by other users on the page.

I think Facebook and Twitter would be the 2 most important networks to have
an official Fedora page.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello Everyone,

Dan, thank you for your post.  :)

Some people must have put some effort to build that Wiki's content and definite update would be grand. :)

+1 for Twitter and +1 for Facebook. :D A need of followers and subscribers.  ;)

I like using wordpress base entries with appropriate "tag" words for broadcasting content. :)

Thank you
Sincerely,
- David -

there is brdcst.it which is an autoposting service for various social
networks. It's based on http://brdcst.org which is open source.

Why not use that?

vinz.

+1 for Google+/FB/Twitter.

For g+,its a best place for geeks to hear the news.

Users can get announcement or broadcast via FB/Twitter.

In China,these 3 network are blocked.We use weibo.com,but it seems updates
are few.

On Spain is used Facebook too much instead Google+.
But, Google+ is good quality (image, presentation...) without any spam
or automatic games invitation.

[Kévin Raymond]

Guys,

The original thread was not about *which* network to use, but *how*
automatically broadcast messages to all of them…

As said before, I won't take action on this.

[Christopher Meng]

Hi Kevin,

auto sending the messages needs api or app of some social
network,but these are easy to work with.

I just want to say fedoraproject@WEIBO updates are seldom,and
followers are few.I can't contact with the owner of this account(even
though this account is authenticated).

[David Ramsey]

Hello Everyone,

Greetings. :)

Very cool, indeed!  :)

Ah.
I just "liked" / joined "Red Hat - APAC" at https://www.facebook.com/RedhatAPAC to get me some ideas for my next event and get some good reading, too!!!  This helps to reinforce my linux exposure which helps me to grow.  :)

Sending positive Fedora 16 & 17 energy to your computers now.  :v)

Please have a Great Fedora day and/or evening! :~)

Thank You

Sincerely
