Hey guys, even though I do appreciate the effort to spread the word
and secure Apache Flex social presence, I believe it should be handles
for someone designated by the community with the proper
qualifications.
So, my offensive question of the day...
What makes you the person with proper qualifications to do this?
Since you aren't one of the initial commiters, nor a mentor?
Also, there is another thread on the mailing list that indicates we
are in violation of the Incubator publicity rule, no publicity is
allowed for Apache Flex for now, if I understand well.
Also on the thread, Bertrand [our sponsor] stated that we were not in
violation. Code had been submitted; the project is in it's incubation
stage, and public mailing lists are set up.
Anyhow, when you create a Facebook page you have to make sure you do
it right and immediately secure the username for that page,
To get an alias (AKA username) for a page you need a minimum number of
users. It used to be 100. It was eventually lowered to 25. See the
third question here: http://www.facebook.com/help/pages/usernames
regarding requirements.
otherwise
you will be promoting a product and the existence of a page to others
who will eventually secure the username and hijack your short URL (ir
facebook.com/apacheflex) which will make you look like the unofficial
page and that other unauthorized page look like official, not good!!
I have no idea how you secured a username for the page without 25
fans. I believe for us to get an alias already in use; we'd have to
file some form of trademark violation report to Facebook. They are not
transferable.
As soon as the community is ready to create a Facebook page for Apache
Flex I will be work with the designated admin to transfer the page.
I think you made our life more difficult; thanks!
