Re: [Engagement] Relaying out bug fixes news via social media

Hey,

I love the idea! If there are graphical attachments (fx mockups) on a bug, it might also be interesting to attach those too in the automated message to create some visual interest.

Hi there, We have come up with an idea in the area of social media outreach and it would be glad if you can share your views on it. The idea is to relay news out in the social media whenever any bug/issue is fixed via dedicated GNOME Bugs' Social Media Channels (thereafter referred as SMC). GNOME Bugs' SMC are not created yet and will be separate from main GNOME handles. You can take a look at LibreOffice's bug channel [1]. Although, based on the severity of the bug/issue, the main GNOME handle can retweet/relay the link on it's own account. The idea is to keep a separate bug SMC is: * Not to make main GNOME handle very noisy * To have automated GNOME bugs SMC I think that most of us agree that social media is the fastest way to get information out. Therefore, as far as code development is concerned, it takes a while till the information is actually relayed out. Mostly, until someone blogs about it and then pick up by other blogs and so on.. We can get fast here and be more verbose about the work that goes into everyday. In addition to that, we want it to be automated; similar to [1] Now comes the most interesting part. It would be really great if we can mention "Newcomers" and their internet handle in the bug SMC link; That should really make them feel special as they can show to the world that they have done something great and brag! Again making that automated would require some thought in organizing that kind of process so Carlos Soriano would give better perspective. But all in all, this stuff is great for newcomers engagement and outreach. This discussion actually happened in Telegram "GNOME Engagement" channel this evening. So, it would be great if you can share your views/consensus here.
