acheronukyofel: KCI looks pretty broke. could do with some help11:59
acheronukummmm. starting the docker monitor service helps!12:11
acheronukhopefully that fixed it12:23
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Do we know who runs our Twitter account @Kubuntu ?22:07
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> mix of people22:08
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I and Ovidiu have access to it22:08
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Ah OK, and the Facebook ?22:10
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I'm looking at Hootsuite, and Buffer as potential Social Media aggregators.22:11
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Ideally I'd like to get something setup which uses OpenID ( Ubuntu One ) so that we can have an LP Team that manage the Social Media stuff22:11
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> G+ is an issue as it doesn't allow any external integrations22:12
wxlkeep in mind, too, that some people prefer some flavours of social media more than others. so not everyone necessarily wants to check facebook :)22:13
wxli for one offered to help with mastodon22:13
wxland i dno't really want to bother with anything else :)22:13
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Helping with Mastodon is perfect22:14
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> It's very good btw22:14
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> There are 2 FB pages22:14
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> https://www.facebook.com/linuxkubuntu/?ref=br_rs22:14
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Sick_Rimmit I have access to twitter as well22:14
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> https://www.facebook.com/kubuntu.org/?ref=br_rs22:14
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> In Total they have 13K followers22:14
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I'm working with Andrea Del Sarto to develop a Marketing Managers role.22:15
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> So I'm looking at tools22:15
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I have this idea to use the Website as the primary source for all news items.22:16
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Connect the RSS feed to a Social Aggregator, so it picks up the posts from the Website and pushes them to as many of our Social Channels as possible22:16
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Then we can bring an Editorial / Oversight team ( Web Admins ) who decide what gets published or not22:17
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Ideally that would be KC members who do that22:17
wxljust make sure whatever it does it can adequately deal with notifying people of mentions22:17
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> The Marketing Manager then leads a smaller community of translators and social post forwarders22:18
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Fedora does this kind of stuff quite well22:18
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Do any of you guys know who has the Facebook pages, who do I speak to about them ?22:19
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @Sick_Rimmit Might be mparillo ?22:38
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Ah yes22:39
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I'll give him a nudge on IRC tomorrow22:39
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I'm going to rap it up for tonight22:39
tsimonq2mparillo: hey, looks like you're here ;)22:39
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Weds for the CI discussion meeting I should be around from about 20:00 UTC22:40
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I'll be able to jump into BBB at 21:0022:41
mparilloWell the bouncer is here23:09
mparillotsimonq2: I have access to post to one Facebook account. I am pretty sure it is kubuntu.org. https://phabricator.kde.org/w/kubuntu/social-media/23:16
mparilloThe problem, in my opinion, is that none of us likes facebook, so I only post there for a big announcement (say Alpha 1), and I discover there are a dozen unanswered messages there, including requests for support.23:23
wxldrop it as a channel then? or maybe say not for support?23:24
mparilloI have pointed support questions to #kubuntu or KFN, but next time I go on, I will look to see if there is some kind of banner function.23:30
wxlyou could pin a post for sure23:31
wxljust make sure EVERYTHING is updated to clearly define its purpose23:31
wxlalso, KFN = Kubuntu FreeNet? XD23:31
mparilloI used the full URL (usually lazy, from my bookmark https://www.kubuntuforums.net/activity.php rather than the home page).23:42
wxlah, yeah, forums. meh. i ALMOST feel as unenthused about them as i do facebook.23:42
valoriewell, we have some enthusiastic forum users, so they should be on the SM team23:46
valorieI used to do it for Amarok, but ..... meh23:47
valorieon pretty much all social media tbh23:47
wxli still like masto. there's actual conversations happening there. not to say that doesn't happen elsewhere but i find it, sadly, rare.23:48
wxlregarding actual support, it seems the best comes from stackexchangey stuff23:48
valorieI have no clue why anyone would ask a support question on facebook, but there ya go23:49
wxlwell in a lot of localities it's an expected thing23:49
wxli've seen this often on the loco council23:50
valorieI know I'm out of step with the American world, at least23:50
valoriebut geez, FB sucks23:50
wxli'm more referring to the non-american world23:51
valorieirc rulez23:51
wxlwell i could expound upon the many benefits of irc23:51
wxlthere's a reason it's stayed around so long23:51
wxlon the other hand, usenet's dead23:52
wxlasyncrony is not the ideal way to get something done quickly23:52
mparilloI am a member of a slack team, and as far as I can tell I have seen it used simply as IRC (with a bouncer and avatars).23:54
wxlditto here23:58
