Social networking is dead.
OK, not really, but I got your attention. But our social networking feeds are kinda dead. More specifically, our identi.ca/Twitter @fedora output. They're silent, like a ninja only without nunchucks or throwing stars. In large part this is thanks to HootSuite's closing up their entire value prop to paid customers only, leaving free accounts like ours dangling in the wind. What's that? Putting some of our eggs in a non-free basket didn't work out? Well, it's a risk we took with eyes open, at least. It was the least ineffective of a lot of suboptimal alternatives, and at least for a while it was working well. The sad fallout is that our identi.ca/twitter feeds are quiet, and we should endeavor to fix that. I did have an idea about this, but it won't help us in the short term: to manage access to our identi.ca feed through Insight via a well-supported Drupal module. There are a couple to choose from, and the great thing is all the group access would happen automagically thanks to our existing FAS integration. But... that doesn't help us *right now*. AFAICT, there are no free services that facilitate team sharing of identi.ca/twitter duties. There are several aggregators out there, and several multiplexers, but none for collaboration. Rather than wait for one to emerge, we should get the access into the right people's hands now, and look for a better solution immediately after that (up to and including the idea above). The fastest way to fix the problem, I believe, is to simply send out the password to the identi.ca account, via GPG-encrypted email, to each of the people listed in our FAS group. Is that acceptable? -- Paul W.

I think that's perfectly acceptable. The question is: What do we have as a plan going forward as far as what we want to start saying there? Or, at this point, is anything acceptable, so long as we're seeing something happening? -Robyn -- marketing mailing list marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing

[In the news] Who Contributes the Most to LibreOffice?
Hi http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/who-contributes-most-libreoffice Bosdonnat began tracking line contributions in the middle of September 2010 with the original 14 contributions being made by Oracle. Oracle actually contributes code to OpenOffice.org, and then LibreOffice merges those changes, thus resulting in Oracle's contributions to the new fork. These 112 contributions have continued throughout development, but are dwarfed by the contributions of new developers. These contributions make up well over half of the total new changes found in LibreOffice as of mid-February. Weekly contributions in this area have averaged between 20 and 30 with a total number of 517 line contributions. Red Hat, who also contributed to OpenOffice.org, has chipped in as well. With usually two contributions per week, Red Hat developers have provided 39 patches since the fork.
