From Fedora Project Wiki

Social media connects Fedora developers, users, friends, and enthusiasts around the world. This is also one strategy to share Fedora announcements, community news, and other updates. All known accounts are documented below, curated by a best-effort volunteering community.

Note: Official accounts are designated official due to their connection to the Fedora Trademark.


Official Accounts

Maintained by Marketing and/or Social Media Teams. Anyone with access to Official Accounts should be members of the fedora-socialmedia FAS group. If you believe you should be in the group, contact a group administrator or group sponsor.

Fedora Community-Managed Accounts

Fedora Community-Managed Accounts are related to the Fedora Project, but not officially maintained by the Fedora Marketing Team or Social Media administrators. Often, these accounts are specific to a region or country. These pages are typically run by an individual contributor or a group of contributors. However, these accounts are not officially endorsed by the Fedora Project or Red Hat Inc.

Account security

Most official social media accounts are managed by each administrator's personal account on that network, like for Facebook or Google+. In cases like Twitter, access is granted to individual accounts using Tweetdeck. However, single passwords still exist for these accounts. The passwords are securely stored within Fedora's infrastructure, along with private assets used by the Infrastructure team. As of October 2016, Patrick Uiterwijk manages password storage and security.


Past discussions

Microblogging Goals/Wishes

  • Use identi.ca primarily and have that mirrored to Twitter: -- Perhaps using Identigator
  • Come up with something more FLOSSy than HootSuite that actually works with Identi.ca (see above suggestion)
  • Verified accounts
  • Twitter accounts we care about are listed. ??
  • Automated (get eyeballs)
  • Manual (for calls to action)
  • push content vs conversations (keeps us authentic)
  • QA and accountability (for quality of content)
  • Aggregate #fedora, #fudcon, etc. tweets -- Identigator maybe ??
