Good evening all, As discussed tonight at the meeting we're moving ahead with the social media for Ubuntu-AU. It has been requested so that it is easier to keep up to date with the team happenings than email alone. The results of mailing list and the meeting discussion are as follows:
Facebook - stick to the group setting and we have Joel Addison volunteering to work out how to input an Ical feed into the group page as events. And as such I have added Joel to administer the facebook account to facilitate this for us as automating it is vital to maintaining the same information across multiple sources with minimal input. Twitter - we have set up an account https://twitter.com/#!/UbuntuAU Identica - I realise we already have a group for this but from discussions we've decided it would be better to set up an individual account as this will allow posting from the account to all followers which apparently isn't possible from a group. It will also tie in nicely with the twitter account and as such is available at http://identi.ca/ubuntuau I have had this account join the group that already existed to see if this reduces confusion and it has integrated to the twitter api. The idea of these groups is not to continually spam members but to provide relevant loco information. For example reminders about upcoming events, meetings and anything specifically loco related. If you have information that you think should be sent out over these channels please feel free to contact me via email or on IRC. As always if anyone has any suggestions for improvement please let us know. Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris
