Re: Release marketing for GNOME 3.22

[Nuritzi Sanchez <nuritzis stanfordalumni org>]

Let's use most of our time during the Engagement meeting this Friday to talk about release marketing and social media. 

If anyone is interested in joining and talking about release marketing and social media, please join us this Friday, September 2nd at 17:00 UTC. 

I'll send out a reminder email for the meeting on Thursday with the details on how to join us. In the meantime, @Lene, please join our #engagement channel on IRC! I'll include instructions on how to do so below in case you need help!

@Flavia, I hope you can make it this Friday too since I know you're interested in social media as well!

Best, 

Nuritzi

If you're new to GNOME or the Engagement Team...

We'd love to have you join our meeting and get to know part of the team! 

To join the engagement team meeting, make sure that you have an IRC account and join the #engagement channel. IRC setup instructions are here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC

Make sure you know what time 17:00 UTC is in your timezone. If you want to chat before the call, just email or ping me on IRC: nuritzis. 

If you feel comfortable, add yourself to the "New Member Introductions" section of the agenda (https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/engagement-team-meetings). We'd love to say hi and learn more about who you are and what you're interested in. 

We look forward to meeting you!

Note: if you're new to IRC, you should set up your IRC account at least an hour before the team call since it will take around 15 - 30 minutes to set up. You may want to try using a web-based client first and then ping someone on IRC for help setting up a native client.

What do you mean, 'avoiding crossing the streams'?  I'm sure we can do some promotion at the conference and certainly there should be an opportunity to have a release party with conference attendees :)

I would like to avoid relatively trivial posts about the conference being published in close proximity to the release announcement. This should be fairly easy to solve if LAS GNOME uses its own media channels and whoever handles the release announcement has control over the GNOME channels, though.

Sure, we can stay out of the GNOME account for the LAS GNOME stuff during that week.  Hopefully we can gain enough followers that.  But I think for certain things, for instance, let's say that we had Linus meeting with desktop developers, that I would want to put on the GNOME twitter account.  That would probably fall into a non-trivial post.  Same with any important thing that came out of the BoFs.

 

 ... 

The big area where we need people to chip in is with social media. It would be great to have a plan there.

Looks like we have a volunteer for that as well!  I won't be able to help this time as I will be busy with LAS GNOME.  So finding some new blood to help with this is probably in order.

I can try to reach out and see if we can find more volunteers for that?  But if Lene wants to help with a plan, I won't stand in their way. :)

Yes, it would be fantastic to have volunteers for this! Let's see if Nuritzi or Rosanna have some ideas for how to get them started...

Sounds good.
