Hi,
Here is the tally:
* +7 (binding)
* +3 (non-binding)
* -2 (binding)
Therefore the vote has passed and we do now have a Social Media Guideline.
I will update the wiki to reflect its status and start a new vote to
amend the guidelines to build consensus with Cos and Andrew P.
Thanks everyone for voting and helping Apache Bigtop grow up!
Thanks,
Bruno

Apache Bigtop Social Media Guidelines
The Apache Bigtop project has a Twitter account (@ASFBigtop) that it
can use to spread news about the project and promote the project.

Access to the social media accounts can be granted to any committer or
PMC member who would like to participate. When possible, access will
be through Hootsuite or another tool that does not require
disseminating the login credentials.
Do's and Don'ts for Social Media
Before posting anything, you'll want to familiarize yourself with
Apache's Media and Analyst Relations
<http://www.apache.org/press/> page and brand management page
<http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/>.
Whether you're posting from a personal account *about* Apache Bigtop
or posting from one of the official accounts, there are a few things
you want to keep in mind.
* *Anything said in public is fair game for press.*
o Never post anything via social media you wouldn't want to see
reported on news sites.
* Make sure what you're saying/sharing is appropriate for all
audiences, and reflects well on Apache Bigtop.
o Be polite when talking about Bigtop and responding to questions.
o Informal voice is OK, unprofessional is not.
o Absolutely no use of NSFW language, images, or scenarios when
using official Apache Bigtop accounts – and avoid associating
Apache Bigtop with anything that is likely to be considered
offensive.
* Share relevant, positive information.
o Feel free to share stories about Bigtop, whether they come
from the Bigtop community, tech press, or folks outside of the
press and community.
o Avoid sharing negative stories about "competing" projects.
o Keep posts/reposts relevant. Everybody loves LOLCats, but it's
probably best not to share them from the official Bigtop
social media accounts.
o Please share event information *so long as it's
Bigtop-related*. /e.g./ Promoting an event where there are
talks about Bigtop is spot-on. Promoting an event only because
a vendor that has an interest in Bigtop is participating would
be outside the scope of Bigtop social media accounts.
* Be sure information is public
o Companies sometimes discuss plans/ideas informally at events.
It's often a good idea to ask before sharing information on
social media if it might be considered non-public. (For
example, information presented during a talk should be fair
game. Information shared over dinner may not be for public
dissemination.)
* Bigtop does not have "sponsors", events and activities have sponsors.
o Avoid language like /$foo_company is sponsoring the Apache
Bigtop project/.
o Companies *can* sponsor events and activities. For example,
/$foo_company is hosting a Bigtop meetup in Atlanta this weekend/.
* Don't use Apache Bigtop social media accounts to promote unrelated
commercial activities.
* *When in doubt, ask*
o If you're unclear on whether a post or item is OK, ask on the
project mailing list. The other contributors on the list will
*always* be happy to discuss and guide other contributors on
what is and isn't appropriate for our social media activities.
