Research pathway, potential and workload requirements of creating a linked in group for the NeuroFedora sig.
What benefits would there be? What is the cost in people-hours per month? What groups and individuals are already active there? What kind of information would be shared and how often?
Hey Danny!
What benefits would there be?
I was wondering and maybe a LinkedIn group could be helpful in order to promote the group, just like any other social media platform. So far, we don't have any social media group(s), and having a LinkedIn group would be better to cater to a professional audience.
What is the cost in people-hours per month?
It should not be much, in my opinion. I guess we can use the social presence to promote our blogs, and the software available in Fedora. We can also post some good reading materials based on neuroscience.
What groups and individuals are already active there?
Seems tricky. I use LinkedIn frequently and have never seen an open-source org on it. However, many orgs have Twitter accounts as well. So we can do a similar thing on Twitter as well (ping to people who love to tweet :P ).
What kind of information would be shared and how often?
One post every alternate day? Posts wouldn't have to be detailed, but basically should contain information about the group, available tools, tools going to be packaged? and links to the blogs? It's not necessary to stay active that much. Do have a look at Fedora's twitter, and how often they tweet. :smile:

I agree. I dont think setting up the group will be difficult, getting people to join might be harder. But, I dont think there is a rush and we can CC official announcements onto the linked in and perhaps crosslink the group URL to some of our posts. Perhaps promote it at conferences.

Agreed!

Fedora and Fedora project are both on there. https://www.linkedin.com/groups/55981/ https://www.linkedin.com/groups/49737/

I dont even think it needs to be that frequently. Perhaps, in sync with our other announcements.

A new group has been created on LinkedIn!

Please join, share, invite, comment!
Awesome! I'll join it when i get back to my laptop! Could you add it to the docs if you have time? Another pull request? ;)

Did you mean for: https://neuroblog.fedoraproject.org/ or https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/overview/ Or both? 😆
Oo, docs.fp.o first?
On the blog you'd have to edit the theme to add an icon in the top menu. This requires some knowledge of the static generator we use (Pelican). Take a look if you fancy it, otherwise i can do it later over the weekend :)
I think I figured it out ;-) I made PRs on both:
docs - https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/documentation/pull-request/1
blog - https://github.com/neurofedora/neurofedora.github.io/pull/1/commits/6327bfd472cd0c29164bfe06312f1d7f64540695
I think docs is fine, but if someone could double check the blog/pelicanconf.py edit, it would be much appreciated!
Have a nice weekend.
I updated the group's logo to use ours instead of Fedora. To use Fedora's we sort of need permission from the design team etc. who must check that the Logo usage guidelines are being followed. Better to use our SIG's logo for consistency.
For the banner, too, the 4 freedom image has usage guidelines that we need to follow. So I've removed it for the moment:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines
For the banner, maybe we remove all the graphics and just leave the text, and maybe add our URL: https://neuro.fedoraproject.org (redirects to our docs, but is wayyy easier to remember).
We may have to use a particular font for the text there too: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#Fonts
Thoughts?
I think this is done too! Thanks @dan1mal ! Closing this. Please open new tickets for any issues.
