Re: Twitter update
That's very true! I tried a lighter background for identi.ca, because the blue links sort of disappeared. Wasn't a big success though. But I see that someone has been editing the colors on identi.ca, so it's already a lot more readable. I'd be happy to help if that's needed. :) Jef 2010/6/27 Gerard Braad gbr...@fedoraproject.org On Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 1:44 AM, Paul W.

Better to have certainty about where the updates are coming. Here's a suggestion I got from a social media professional to whom I talked: 1. Send out notices to the deprecating account (fedora_linux) at least three, two, and one week before the move, encouraging people to follow @fedora. 2. On the day of the move, post a last notice to the deprecated account saying, Follow us at @fedora. -- Paul W.

Re: Twitter update
I propose a slow migration. Announce once a week that people should follow @fedora on both accounts and check the numbers of followers on the old account. When the number is down enough, announce a final this account will soon be discontinued. But I would keep both synced forever minus a day. Doesn't cost us, so why bother too much?

Leaving aside the issue of whether Twitter would help do this at all, the question I had was, would we run a risk of people thinking we were violating some sort of norm or etiquette by changing their subscription without permission?

My thinking is that the email alias would only be used for notifications of new followers as well as direct messages or any other administrative notification from Twitter. The DMs can also be seen in HootSuite. All that being said, if we're having the same or even somewhat-close-to-same set of people oversee/maintain/manage the various social media outlets, then I see more value in having a common socialme...@fp.o type address. If that's not the case, then perhaps separate aliases for each social media outlet is better. It's a thought provoking question.

My question, of course, is: What is the first official tweet going to say? Are we going to just continue on as usual - or do we want to take the moment to say something fun / cool / meaningful? My personal vote would be for fun / cool / meaningful because, I mean, who wants to be the opposite of those things ?

Re: Twitter update
Hey, What I feel is we should just create a new FAS group for this, something like, socialmedia(or what ever name we might end up choosing), and make it a invite only group.With it we will get an email alias such as fas-group-name-memb...@fp.org, so we have two things done at once, 1) No one from outside can subscribe to it, 2) Avoid setting up an extra mailing list. And as for the first tweet, we should probably send one out right now (Something like : Get some love! link to download page).
