Promoting your work on desktop environments
I wanted to reach out to the DE teams on behalf of the marketing team. If there are cool
things you are working on as it relates to the Fedora spin, please let us know! We want to
highlight the different teams and the progress you're making. It can be updates on
implementing the new version of the DE, bug fixes, a change that's specific to Fedora
(even though I know we're pretty vanilla), or whatever.
The lead dev for the Budgie desktop is a good example of the kinds of things we can post
about. We've boosted a few of his posts as he's made progress on the Budgie spin.
Personally I'm not a technical guy so he may be a better model of the kinds of things
that would be cool to post. It's actually because he's been active that I wanted
to reach out to the other teams so that it doesn't look like the Fedora Mastodon
account is favoring Budgie for some reason.

How can you send us stuff to post? One option is to just tell us in our marketing matrix
channel. Lots of folks have just popped in with news, events, and cool updates to post.
It's an easy place to drop in. Another option, also like Josh, is to just post about
what you're doing on Mastodon! If you @ the Fedora account or even use the hashtag,
there's a good change we'll see it from the Fedora account and boost. We won't
boost everything folks tag us with, but we are looking out for neat things that would
interest the community.

This applies to really anything you're doing in Fedora, but the DEs are what prompted
this. :)
