This one’s pretty simple. We need folks who will figure out how to maintain our social media presence, and that of our projects, more effectively. We are currently not doing awesome at this - at best, we’re inconsistent. At our worst, we are sending out messaging that is not aligned with the Foundation’s messaging, and that can be harmful, longer term.
I’ve included the proposed charter below, and at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/community/wg-social-media/README.md <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/community/wg-social/README.md> I don’t think this one is controversial, but I think that putting some more structure around this, and having a group that sets direction, process, membership criteria, and so on, would greatly improve our outreach. Note that this group MUST defer to MarkPub on all things, so we can’t just blaze ahead until they have had their input here. # Social Media Working Group (Proposed) Use social media to promote Apache communities ## What Use the @apachecommunity Twitter account, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets to promote Apache communities. Work with projects to better facilitate their own social media outlets, and to share Foundation-wide messaging, where appropriate. Work with MarkPub to ensure that all of the above is done correctly, and on-message with the rest of the community. ## Who The WG shall create membership criteria that ensure that you're enabling people who can responsibly, consistently, positively and coherently be spokespeople for the ASF. Possibly work with MarkPub to establish some kind of guidelines or certification? — Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com
