I absolutely agree.

To not create a social network dependent infrastructure, we are
working creating, with the tools fedora give us, a Fedora Events feed
(the way is still long but sure we will update you as soon as we have
good news, volunteers are welcome) that could be used (with some
scripts/APIs) in the many social netoworks. If you don't like twitter
and use identi.ca, it could be interesting to offer the same
informations (both from one root).

I think if we let people know that Fedora is something more than an
Operating System (we are a Community), they will, at least, give a try
to Fedora. Sorry for this off-topic comment, but I had the necessity
to say this.
