I agree what what JMarc said. Mohamed, thank you for your proposal. You make good points. But indeed, LinkedIn is not particularly reflective of free software principles. That said, we do have a Twitter (X?) account, although we don't use it much and when the account was created I don't think there was any practical open-source friendly alternative. If you were very motivated for something like this, I would suggest to ask LyX developers what platforms they would agree with supporting. For example, I would be curious about Mastodon, if we thought that would be useful. Thanks again for thinking of this! Scott
