Invite others to help with social media activity on @fedoracommunity Twitter account for the week of Flock 2019
@fedoracommunity
At previous Flocks (2015/2016?), the @fedora account was used for live-tweeting sessions and activities, but the impact was low. There was too much content for it to be useful and a large portion of the Twitter followers have mixed motivations to follow the main Twitter account (i.e. it was not relevant content or it was a content overload for our follower base).
@fedora
Alternatively, it would be nice to have stronger community engagement on our @fedoracommunity account since this account is explicitly oriented towards the "people" part of Fedora. The 2,000+ followers on @fedoracommunity does not compare to the 120,000+ followers on @fedora, but we reach a more specific target audience with this account.
We could use Flock as an opportunity to invite a few others to help out with the @fedoracommunity account starting the week of Flock. I see this as a benefit because it opens up social media as a contribution method on a lower-impact account and could potentially help us find more volunteers to build a more personal engagement strategy on @fedora.
I'm not sure where to take this idea and I am not comfortable leading this on my own since I am the only non-Red Hat employee with admin access on the @fedoracommunity account. I would like advise on how to do this responsibly and in a transparent way.
I could help with this.
Perhaps a good starting point is to have commblog articles echoed to this account, like with magazine and @fedora?
This also sets up a conversation at Flock about what this account is for based on the feedback with the above.
If needed, I can also help with this :)
I can help with this too!
+1 to this idea.
+1 for the idea
@jflory7 from your perspective, what is the next step here?
Per the 2019-07-10 meeting discussion, I would like to ask the Mindshare Committee to vote on this short-term proposal for #139, while the long-term details are figured out in #138:
If approved, I will work on gathering volunteers into a group later this month. We can start chatting about how we can share responsibility for tweeting content during Flock. If I have enough time, I'll try to put together some recommendations / expectations for using the account (e.g. not flooding the account with too much activity during Flock).
A very strong +1 to the short term plan offered by @jflory7. I'd be happy to volunteer to be one of the community members helping out with the account leading up to Flock...
+1 too
+1
I'll volunteer to help with the account leading up to (and at) Flock also.
@sumantrom @x3mboy @codeblock please vote
This has passed. @jflory7 please get started and let us know how it is going :)
