At OFBiz we put together some Social Media guidelines https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Guidelines+for+Use+of+Social+Media and something for Twitter https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Twitter Not sure if these might be a bit too much, but the main thing is to have an idea of the type of information you are wanting to share. It also helps others from the community who want to tweet about the project. > > I had the same concerns with OFBiz but then...

One thing that could help is to follow the ASF accounts and re-tweet some of the main ASF ones. For example they have a weekly news update. Doing things like this will help strengthen the Apache link of the project. Would you also be interested in blogging too on https://blogs.apache.org/ An example from OFBiz is something like this https://blogs.apache.org/ofbiz/entry/apache_ofbiz_news_december_2016 Thanks Sharan > All in all, it would be nice to make some good noise about FreeMarker :-) > > Jacopo > > [*] https://twitter.com/freemarker >
