hey, everyone. just firing this off before I forget about it: I don't use any microblogging crap, but it seems like quite a lot of people do, and I thought an 'official' Fedora QA microblog account (fedora-qa on identi.ca, was my thought, with an automatic mirror or whatever it's called to #fedora-qa on twitter) might be a good idea - we could use it to fire off a quick note whenever an event like a test day or new test image happened. does anyone think this is a good idea? if so, how should we set up access to it? I don't know if we can set things up so that anyone in a given fas group can post to an identi.ca account or if we'd have to be more dumb about it...ideas welcome!

I personally don't blog et al thou often asked to start doing so nor am I one of the 90% of the planet that tweet into /dev/null.
I sometimes post some random jibber jabber on FB which is as close to (micro)blogging as I get.
From my perspective I think marketing team should handle all frontier stuff ( or a single person ) from us and we just deliver content to that team ( or that person ) and they put it into people speak and sprinkle some of that marketing dust over it.
I dont think getting the whole QA community to tweet post on identica fb and what not is a great idea.
Oh btw arent you supposed to be our public relation aka front man ;)

my thought there is that some people may want to get news from some fedora teams but not all. We could just have a central fedora microblog account (maybe we already do, I don't know), but it would have to only post really big news from any particular team, or else it'd just be too much and people would be overwhelmed with things they don't care about. A team specific account would let us post slightly smaller news and be confident it was going out to people who were interested. same reason we don't just have one big Fedora mailing list :)

well sure, but I'm trying to solve the 'bus' issue here - I could just set up an account which only I had access to and say 'hey, here it is' but that's not very community-friendly and doesn't work well if I get run over by a bus tomorrow :)

Ah I think you misunderstood me a bit here what I was proposing was that marketing team has the necessary access and handles all the publishing stuff through the QA channels but any QA community member can give them content/drafts they review/rewrite to marketing standards then publish for us through those channels although I'm not sure which service the marketing team offers other community's within the project.

What I mentioned above would solve your issues with buses ;)

Ah, I see. If the marketing team would go for that, sure! If not we might want to do it ourselves anyway =) I'll ask.

I don't have access to that. You need to talk to Stickster about it.

You should redirect to marketing list. Nobody here has access to it

I did post to marketing ML on Tue/Wed (I forget which, the last week has been kind of a blur) asking people to promote the Test Day.

I had seen the message, but also do not have access to this account. IMO people were pre-occupied with FUDCon or FOSDEM. Let's hope the situation can improve.
