Thanks @jive for the opportunity. I am “json singh” and I have been working in GIS space for the past 6 years. I am taking a break from coding due to a burnout and focusing all my energy on community now. I would to know the current social media strategist so I can discuss a plan forward.
I personally use 3 social media (linkedIn, mastodon and bluesky) and comfortable with all 3 at the moment.
The very first thing I would like to do is setup Bluesky account and the very first thing I need for that is an email which I can use for username for now.
Hi @jsonsingh just sent an intro note to connect on Linkedin. Happy to give you access to the OSGeo group and company page since I really don’t visit this social network that frequently.
We would like to have multiple people manage, because not everyone here is very active on each network.
So several people here should have access to each network.
There is no social media policy, just stay on message for “empower everyone” with foss4g.
It is great to promote official news items, such as pgrouting graduating to be an OSGeo project. Or the elections for new board members happening today.
It is also great to follow our members, sponsors and service providers and repost anything “on brand”.
Very occasionally there will be something important a committee or the board will go out of there way to ask us to promote. But really we should invite them to volunteer here also.
As a global org we do not often do any politics, since local OSGeo chapters are formed in part to be a more effective voice in each region. Rare example: EU Cyber Resilience Act Information Update - OSGeo where we added our voice to other software foundations.
For an OSGeo bluesky account, it makes sense to create a handle @osgeo.org . This is not very complicated, but it requires someone that manages the DNS for osgeo.org to make it happen. Blueksy has a simple, but effective set of instructions how to make your own handle instead of the default bluesky handles.
