Hi Jimmy,

thanks for your advices!

Might be, though people would have to join in the first place. Maybe it would 
be good to at least auto-post news like from Twitter et. al. at that page as 
well.
But in the end that's up to the French community and their preferences.

> Planet openSUSE: wrong link should read =>
> https://planet.opensuse.org/global/ openSUSE Weekly News Page: => dead link

Fixed both. 

> No instagram : https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/opensuse/

That is a tag search we (to be accurate: no one) has under control. Therefore 
I'd not add that to the list.

Regards,
vinz.

I agree on that. Hopefully Vinzenz started using Mastodon. I can
create an openSUSE_FR account on Mastodon as well. It's free software,
but one will need an account as well :-\ That being said, those
"social media" accounts are just a relay, the original information are
still freely and publicly available to all (on Alionet for the French
example).

it's

All right, thanks all for you answers. I will take some time by the
end of the week to refresh this account and feed it. I will update the
wiki page as well.

@ Douglas : I will email you the admin access if it is ok to you.


Hi All,

Been quite busy but last week I found a few discrepancies on this page
and will report same in the next ten days.

Splitting information, hence duplicating information does not benefit.
If I need information on a subject, I will look for it at the source
and not on a search engine because if the way SEO affects searches
does not mean it’s the Bible, neither the latest and up to date
information.

Wikipedia is a good example. You look at say Linux and in the left
widget, you can choose the language that you want. So if we want to
know about the Roadmap of eg. openSUSE Leap 16, it would be best to
find it at one  place in as many languages as possible.

Having said that, I now know who had admin access to openSUSE FR of
Twitter :). Silent for a very long time but SUSE tweets about openSUSE
in French.

So it would be great to use and improve existing social network tools
where we have a guaranteed audience who by the way know how to use
them.

Just my two cents.

Best wishes and une Bonne et Belle Année à tous nos amis francophones
et francophiles!

Jimmy


Hi Jimmy,

Not sure that I get all your points.
I agree that splitting information is not the best way, but I think 
that, when it comes to promotion, more is better, and that some people 
might expect this openSUSE_FR to be active. Beside that, the name 
"openSUSE_FR" itself will probably speak to more people, when they are 
looking for openSUSE related stuff on Twitter or other, than Alionet.


The duplication of accounts is only seen on Twitter, so another option 
is simply to close one of the duplicated accounts but I am not conviced 
that it would do any good.


Thank you and "Bonne année" à toi aussi :)

Hi Vinzenz,

Thank you for starting this. In less that 8 hours it jumped to 217

would be good to have one or two backup admins to eliminate any points

there were points of contact who had control of pages that could not
be reached, so there are some pages that are un-managed  due to no
access. I added it to

Hi everyone,

I created an account for openSUSE at the federated social network 
Mastodon.

You can find it at https://fosstodon.org/@opensuse

*What is Mastodon*
Mastodon is a distributed, federated social network that forms part of 
the
Fediverse, an interconnected and decentralized network of 
independently

operated servers.

Mastodon has microblogging features similar to Twitter. Each user is a 
member
of a specific Mastodon server, known as an "instance" of the software, 
but can
connect and communicate with users on other instances as well. Users 
post
short messages called "toots" for others to see, subject to the 
adjustable

privacy settings of the user and their particular instance.

More at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software)

*Why is it good for openSUSE*
Being open source, privacy oriented and rooting from people with a 
huge
interest in everything FOSS big parts of the userbase is what I'd call 
an easy
target group for openSUSE. Just being around at their day-to-day 
social

network is important
With just announcing the account it gained 178 followers and big 
amount of
replies, reposts etc. in just a few hours. The interest and welcoming 
by the

users there is overwhelming.

That aside I think it's good for openSUSE to stake a claim in terms of 
FOSS
and privacy. The big social media services all have their own issues 
but

privacy is somewhat a problem at all of them.

*Who is in charge and what is published*
Currently I'm the only one with access to the account. But of course 
I'm

willing to hand over the credentials to someone official.
The contents I posted and plan to post until someone else wants to 
take over
are just the same as on openSUSE's twitter account. In the long run 
one has to

see what people over there are interested in and adapt the contents
accordingly.

For any questions, go ahead.

Regards,
vinz.
