Unsure about the 'german news' part, JC (or for any localized news, for that matter)
Guus
otherwise, yey :)
jonasw
what’s the status of tweeting things?
jonasw
also, good morning everyone :)
Guus
Unsure. I can. CommWT should, but I don't know if they've asked for their accounts to be added to tweetdeck, and ifso, if that has been arranged.

(iteam, notably Kev, will be able to help with that)
jonasw
hm, what’s blocking the "retweet" of that Eve Online thing?

Guus: I feel relatively strongly about including non-English articles. They can be at the bottom of the newsletter. In so many places and communities there is an Anglo-American bias pervading thought and discussions due to the dominance of the English language. Non-English speakers sometimes have a different perspective on things that get lots otherwise. For example, I often see XMPP as IM option being considered more seriously in German articles than in English ones. My impression is that Germans also value online privacy more than average.

Guus, jonasw: concerning tweets, AFAIR, we need to ask the board for access. I've asked nyco a few times, but he seems to be quite busy. Can I write an email to someone about this?

Guus thinking further about non-English articles, we could keep all text in the email English, even when linking to a non-English article. People can then use Google translate to read it in English if they're interested.
Guus
jcbrand: you have stronger feelings about this subject than I do. I can live with any choice comm comes up with
jcbrand
Guus: It's still unclear to me how to properly communicate with the board. For example, besides the Tweetdeck access, we also have two people who want to join, winfried and Neustradamus. Who should I contact in this regard?
Guus
as for twitter: there aught not to be the need for explicit approval. I brought this up during the board meeting, at which point Ralph pointed out that iteam will facilitate comms with whatever they need to help with their mission goal (not his exact words, but something to that extend).
jcbrand
ok
jcbrand
Kev wanted to play it safe, so wanted it to go through board first, but that was before the CommsWT was established formally.
Guus
JC, read back the logs of the board meeting. In my view, it's clear that comms can have access. If you or Kev are unsure, I'll be happy to bring it up in board explicitly again (but I was cut short when I did last time, with the reasoning that such board approval wasn't needed).
jcbrand
ok
Guus
as for contacting the board. I've been struggling with that myself last year. I think either reaching out to individual board members (you just did) or posting on the members list are yoru best bet
Guus
please persist until your item pops up on our Trello board

what's N's actual name?
Guus
Ludovic Bocquet, right?
Guus
I've added both member requests as items to vote for board
Guus
I'll hold off with the Tweetdeck thingy until I hear from you or iteam that a vote is needed, ok?

Thank you Guus!

I've updated the CommsTeam wiki page: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/CommTeam
jcbrand
SaltyBones, Neustradamus, nyco, Seve: I made a wiki page where you can submit articles for the next Newsletter. https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/News_and_Articles_for_the_next_XMPP_Newsletter
jcbrand
The first newsletter outline is on Github: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/blob/comms-team-newsletter/content/posts/newsletter/2018-03.md
Guus
Nice! Maybe broadcast that inbox to the members list? Non team-members might have input that's of interest.
jcbrand
ok, will do
SaltyBones
very nice, of course I am disappointed that we are not using XMPP for collecting suggestions ;)
jcbrand
right tool for the right job

jonasw
Guus, so you could re-post that thing on twitter?
Guus
I can repost what?
Guus
(yes I can)
Guus
but what?
jonasw
Guus, https://www.eveonline.com/article/p4i0qx/new-chat-backend-coming-with-the-march-release I think this was discussed here already?

Seve
jcbrand, I will try to chatch up later today if possible, I will get out of the office later than usual. What's wrong on discussing stuff in this MUC? (I've just read the Wiki)
Seve
Well anyway, I will try to check everything at night If I can
Guus
jonasw, oh, yeah. I thnk I did retweet that, but form my personal account.
jcbrand
Seve: I don't understand your question, who said there's anything wrong? Although, I would say that since this room doesn't have MAM enabled, it's less useful than it could be
Guus
it'd be nice for the commteam to be able to do this though :)
jonasw
Guus, true, but that shouldn’t block parts of commteam to do it for now, should it?
jcbrand
Guus: I read the board minutes again, looks to me like I can just ask the iteam directly.
Guus
jcbrand: exactly
Guus
jonasw: no, but a) I'm not on the commsteam, and b) they don't have access yet. That's what JC just referred to. It's in the works.
jonasw
oooh
Guus
if they can't get access soon, I'll post it, ok?
jonasw
I didn’t realize that you’re not in Commsteam
Guushas left
Guus
but I'm anxcious for other people to be able to do things :)
jonasw
yeah, that makes sense, sorry
jonasw
I was under the impression that you’re part of commsteam
jonasw
now it all makes sense
Guus
kk :)
