Hi, I totally agree with the idea that Jenkins WeChat running under the community organization. It's fair for every contributor. My dream is that let more and more people join Jenkins party. But I met some situations during the process.
First, I probably must use a personal email to register. I need to receive a verification code to complete the form. But the contact email could be [email protected]. Second, the subscription account may be the best solution. There are five types of WeChat Account Entity. They are government, media, company, individual and other organizations. I want to register the account as an organization. But I need an organization name and code. Oleg told me that there is not a real entity for Jenkins. I also do some homework about this. So my advice is that we register this account as an individual. More detail page is here https://mp.weixin.qq.com/acct/contractorpage?action=showreg&step=3&lang=zh_CN . It’s really great to get your support. I want to take the initiative. And I think the Chinese Localization SIG team members are happy to help the Jenkins WeChat. We have a regular video meeting. Every contributor could get the meeting time in the calendar https://jenkins.io/event-calendar/. This’s open for everyone. BTW, if there is no other concerns or questions. Once you think ok with my solution and advice, then I will begin my job.
