I removed the “beta” from the link, and it directed me to the OSGeo NL page. Do not you think it would be interesting to have an OSGeo page on LinkedIn?
Another thing I also thought, and I would suggest is to create a twitter profile for Planet OSGeo, and use a tweetfeed-type tool to feed the profile automatically!

That would be great! I looked at linked in a couple weeks ago for code sprint fundraising (I usually only use it for conferences) and was surprised at how active and engaged it was (compared to facebook at twitter).

I do not know what is involved, is that the kind of thin you would ask the system admin committee to set up?
I do like the idea of taking our foundation-news items and automatically tweeting. The community-news is a bit more varied, with several personal blogs and corporate blogs in the mix. As such not all the headings are “on brand” for OSGeo to be tweeting unattended

Jody,
Yes, LinkedIn has a great engagement! I find it interesting for OSGeo as a foundation to have an official LinkedIn page because members, borders can add OSGeo to their resumes, and thereby create the “link” to the foundation page!
Many people use Open Source GIS tools and unfortunately do not know OSGeo, I say this because of the experience I have here in Brazil, especially!

I understand your preoccupation. And I think that care is really needed.
Maybe create a team (so that only one person is not overloaded), that daily see the posts of Planet, and post on twitter those who agree with the foundation! What do you think?
I really like this idea. I think that the twitter account should be “planet-osgeo” rather than “osgeo” so that people can sign up to it separately. As Jody mentions, the Planet OSGeo often contains content more diverse than just OSGeo. If you are volunteering to do the work to set it up, then I’d back you. Cheers,

I saw that Planet PostgreSQL (x.com
[1]) uses this feature!
What do you think?

Responding to Cameron, I also think it should be a profile of the planet OSGeo (twitter.com/planetosgeo), regardless of the profile of OSGeo (twitter.com/osgeo).
I can create yes, no problem! Just need to know which email will be the account owner (example: marketing@osgeo.org)?
About LinkedIn, this showcase* was created by Get Interactive:
I’m trying to create the OSGeo page on LinkedIn, but due to the showcase created by Get Interactive, it does not allow me to create an “OSGeo” company.
Does anyone have Get Interactive contact, and could contact them (or give me the contact) and ask them to rename or delete this showcase?

just chiming in to say ‘fantastic stuff’! - well done. I second Jody re. address - just put whatever is the official address for Linkedin; and promote foss4g events by posting about them a bunch.
Using wordpress / jetpack, I can post stuff automagically to linkedin - is that something OSGeo would consider (for example, news items on the OSGeo blog get pushed to Linkedin)?
What do you think of sending an email in the discussion list (OSGeo Discuss), telling you the creation of the page and asking to update your profile and like the page?
