XSF Communications Team - 2019-11-15

I made 'dis: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XSF_content

we could consider if it is worth it that we get into public discussions like this one https://chaos.social/@2342/103132655762382439 (it is just an example)

Mainly to clear doubts and provide help

I think that's delicate to participate as @xmpp in there

There's gonna be opinions flying around and it'll probably be difficult to stay "neutral"

Yes, it's not easy. I recommend to just post news. There are people which are able to support and help.

yeah, with @xmpp official accounts, we must not engage in fights and opinions battles

but at some point, with social media, one should "engage" and "manage" the community

my point was not to fight, was just an example. More towards what yo usay about engaging with the community

yes, I know

but I agree with pep. you might end up being interpreted badly

as an official account, I'd rather go for a different type of engagement: likes, retweets, answers to polls... and all the stuff stays in "control" (well, as much as possible)

So our social media must stay as a feed for the newsletter :D

so, to me, no, we should post more often, and differently the newsletter is one thing, we move on, we keep on improving

we have not reached consensus on targetting and channels, so far I hope we do that someday

but given our targets and channels, we should deliver our message on these places, and engage

super

I understand Twitter is meant for devs I underline you can reach a large crowd of decision makers that's why I would open our Twitter account also to this sort of content

LinkedIn is mainly decision makers Mastodon is mainly devs

I more or less see our Twitter account as being the mix of our Mastodon account and on LinkedIn "page", in term of content and tone

in Twitter you will find left-ish people that would be more open to XMPP, not only devs (that's my experience)

btw we can discuss Instagram at one point

you find everything in Twitter, that's a large enough platform

Dogs 😹

maybe we need a dog petting XEP?

haha

so, yeah, for your initial question: from official accounts, don't enter risky conversations (potential trolls) from your personal accounts, well do what you want :)

Nÿco: messages which included features like polls, appointments etc would be so good

Maybe we can announce LCs and stuff there as well? Maybe even twitter. Potentially with different hashtags

wat

LCs?

stuff?

"event Twitter"?

so, on the second day of Mastodon, we have 65 followers, thanks to a few shares by influent users: https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp

Nÿco, yes, looks good :-)

still discovering how it works, the few famous accounts I have searched so far have several thousands of followers

"how it works"? Get more Follower?

not only that, how people use it, what crowd we have here, what are the specifics, etc.

I confess I have not great hopes with Mastodon, but I think we have to consistently experiment

Nÿco: Last Calls. We could use this channel to call for feedback

Mastodon

ok, clear

yes, of course

that needs synchronisation between teams

tbh, I only follow standards@ at the end of the months, to collect content for the newsletter

every new "event" in the XEP universe can potentially be announced on social media not sure everything is worth

Is there a way to share credentials easily mastodon? Not all commteam has access yet right?

Also is scam going to have access to that as well?

oh good question, I did not explore that yet, I just saw some second factor auth

I follow standard everyday, and I'm also an editor, I push the last call changes myself :p

in *mastodon

right

Maybe there's a point to be made that editors should push LC announces to other channels as well. I'm entirely sure I want to defend it though ✏

It is important to be there and share information about xmpp and to show there is sill a team working on it. For example: https://gi.de/themen/beitrag/vertrauenswuerdige-dezentralisierte-technologien/

What is this article about?

It is from "Society for computer science" about "Trusted decentralized technologies"

friendi, diaspora, Mastodon, Matrix, Jami,.... but no XMPP. This we should change.

This is the reason why I created the xmpp-messanger to show that XMPP is still there (I think the best option for IM).

> It is important to be there and share information about xmpp and to show there is sill a team working on it. For example: https://gi.de/themen/beitrag/vertrauenswuerdige-dezentralisierte-technologien/ I agree with you!

you never know who is readding there
