XSF Communications Team - 2019-08-29

here

the wiki page is frozen now, I've passed on git: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/602

please review

meanwhile, I am waiting for JC to give me access to TinyLetter

if possible, I want to publish it on Tuesday 3rd

pep, are you on github, so I assign you the review as well?

I'll check later after work, thank you Nÿco :D

thx

SouL what's your github handle?

SeveFP

Nÿco: ppjet6. I'm not available until later in the afternoon though

thx, no hurry :)

oops, can't find you...

hey commTeam, since we launched the newsletter, until now, I have only collected links on the wiki, sometimes just done some very basic copywriting...

please I used to edit the XMPP Roundup, I took over stpeter then

the difference between the times of the roundup and the newsletter is the maturity of use of social media

and I am a bit surprised that we - as a community - use social media pretty badly

so we could write a short kind of guide for us all

how to write a post: text, image, hashtags, link

how to schedule posts: buffer, tweetdeck, hootsuite, etc.

how to analyses your analytics (funnels, acquisition, etc.)

all the best practices are already available everywhere online, it's just a matter of shaping it for us all

btw, is the team member list correct? https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/CommTeam#Team_members

hmmm... not the same: https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/comm-team.html

Yeah, that list was made two summits ago :D

Probably Daniel has not been active

I haven't seen him around here

In terms of activity, the one on the website is quite accurate

ok, thx

tbh, I am not around here often...

maybe we should recruit?

I think we are enough for what we do right now

It depends on the objectives :D

Nÿco: I sent you the credentials yesterday already. In chat via OMEMO

that's the problem: wrong key

can't read it

I sent them again

thx a lot, it works, I'm playing with the interface in order to familiarise now, I'll wait for more reviews before really posting

jcbrand why did you choose tinyletter over others?

I did that: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Basic_communication_guide_for_XMPP_techies

Nÿco: Ppjet6 with a caps then? I should also be in the xsf group somewhere

arg, I can't find you... :'(

> jcbrand why did you choose tinyletter over others? I don't remember, heard good things about them

ok, good enough :)

https://github.com/ppjet6

wow, I followed you

the GitHub's search engine sucks

Huh? https://github.com/search?q=maxime+buquet&type=Users

for some reason, I can't add you

https://movim.eu:5280/upload/1ab8cd5d50a081e2fdf8ce43dca3047f8bd49889/Ef4RUUKDiMbezrkudUYb4MGUxATodfzawgtZVMJR/Capture_d_e_cran_2019-08-29_a__15.23.59.png

but I can you can do a review

Oh, that's probably because pep isn't part of the team

K

I guessed that, can you please add him?

I can address that after Board

thx

you have 5 min, you can do it now :)

I was actually wondering if it made sense to merge both teams tbh

ah

Commteam and scam

that's a github team

Sure ✏

oh, commteam and scam have some stuff in common, indeed

Just a related thought

I think I kind of agree...

Well, they are separate work teams in the XSF, and I agree they should work together, but merging them doesn't feel like the best of ideas

why not?

There's a slight nuance but both have more or less the same goal, i.e., outreach. Plus it's not like we had many active people..

why not?

why not?

why not?

wow

Because, e.g. I like to help out with meetups, etc, and not (currently) with writing newsletters or other types of communication

.

Movim fell down

sorry for the multiple attempts

ralphm: who says you have to do everything

actually, no one in scam helps on meetups organisation as far as I know

nyco: why did we add a new person recently then?

nyco: ??

Also, I've been working on the Summit again

ralphm: are you efforts public?

I sent a mail on the dates

Yes

And there's a separate private discussion on the FOSDEM devroom

Ah, I wasn't aware of that

URI?

which part of "private discussion" was unclear?

Ok so there's no way to help even, better :)

I love these small elitist groups ✏

No need for now, at least

Mostly handled by the realtime communications people anyway

For this team, though, I would be interested in having some good handout and other presentational material

Maybe a pull-up banner

Btw, Matrix appeared as "Matrix.org" on the stand map, would it be possible for XMPP to also appear on that map, and not just "realtime lounge". Or make matrix go in there as well

I'll think about that. We've gone as Realtime Lounge for a couple of years now, and in 2018 they were part of it, and this year they were separate.

I also talked to organizers on a different location / setup

Right, it's really not visible in that corner

Well, also very crowded

When we started with the Lounge, there were almost half the number of stands in total

Maybe someday fosdem will change venues :x

Or get a voucher system like CCC or something

I don't know CCC's setup

But ULB is great in that it is free

Not sure any of this is beneficial to fosdem, but it's really crowded and doesn't really make me want to go

“Nÿco: actually, no one in scam helps on meetups organisation as far as I know“ what did this mean btw

Sometime he misfires :-D

Because we've been handling froscon and Camp lately, Daniel, Dino people and me for froscon, and dino, mathieui and me for Camp

And there's more coming

Ah maybe he's not connected

meetups organisers are not part of SCAM team

https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Meetups these?

Is this strictly required? We can help setting them up, we should, (also proposing content? Etc.), but we don't especially have to take part?

They don't have to join either? I'd prefer to let them do whatever they want, make the entry easy, and then only if they're interested they can join (not sure what that would bring them though)

Often these grow organically, it just happens. I'd like for them to contacts us and ask for help but I think by this point it's either already happening, or dead ✏

I have been trying to push people here and there though to start again, in Paris for example

I can poke other people in different places maybe

Nÿco: the point I tried to make is that we added pep. to SCAM specifically for his work on meetups.

Maybe you weren't in that meeting.

That was at the summit

Though, terminology might be confusing here. What I try to organise is generally called "sprints". I believe what's called "meetup" is more user oriented

Only the target is different but that's already a significant change :p

Yeah, I suppose we could rename to SCAMS, but that seems superfluous.

Yeah that's fine
