 garbas | * (cc IdaBzo Bryan Honof) I've moved us from Hootsuite to Buffer since they allow 3 channels in Free plan and they also support Mastadon.
raboof Would be it possible to get credentials for mastadon nixos account? To finish hooking everything up. Also welcome to help us out with scheduling the posts.
| 13:13:43 |
| garbas | Mastodon is now connected to Buffer. | 13:44:24 |
| garbas | IdaBzo once you come online lets get you access to buffer and lets chat about the process | 13:44:55 |
| garbas | I'll drop a testing post to see if all channels are working correctly. | 13:48:29 |

Mastodon -> https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/110067280675902474

| garbas | Looks like it is working | 13:58:56 |
| raboof | played with the 'create post' UI for a bit, looks nice, also with customizations for each network. mastodon clearly the new kid in town, some UI bugs there still, but nothing that should create a problem AFAICS (and otherwise I can edit the post through the app) | 14:04:43 |
 Bryan Honof | The "Content" tab is also pretty cool. We could draft up ideas there. | 14:55:22 |
| Bryan Honof | E.g. | 14:55:32 |

| Bryan Honof | And when we decide to release it, we just press a button to schedule it. | 14:55:45 |
| raboof | should we do a shoutout to https://discourse.nixos.org/t/netherlands-nix-meetup/26599 ? And perhaps also the other upcoming ones listed at https://20th.nixos.org/ ? | 15:35:51 |

| Bryan Honof | I'll do it for all upcoming events. | 16:31:39 |
| Bryan Honof | (The small FR is the emoji flag. My font just doesn't have it :P) | 16:31:56 |
| raboof | Yeah I think that looks good! Perhaps add some #NixOS #Anniversary #Meetup #Paris hashtags? :) | 16:34:18 |
| Bryan Honof | Right! | 16:34:27 |
| Bryan Honof | Ok, I'll go ahead and schedule the other posts as well. Feel free to edit them! | 16:37:28 |
| Bryan Honof | Okay, cool. Buffer even shortens the URLs. | 16:38:42 |

| garbas | I was wondering, what would be best way to interact with the rest of the community regarding social media announcements?
eg.Somebody from community did something I would like nixos accounts to retweet/forward/share/...
Another use case is that other teams would like to post something? Where/How do they contact us? Via issue on GitHub sounds a bit of an overkill. Maybe just writing to us here in this channel would be a good start.
And last use case, which I think we should be doing. Looking for content on discourse (https://discourse.nixos.org/c/announcements/8), reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/, https://www.reddit.com/r/Nix), Hackernews (https://news.ycombinator.com/news), lobste.rs (lobste.rs/t/nix), ... and maybe some other channels.
At the end we need to agree on some policy, what should be announced, how often, what should not be announced, etc... some basic rules.
Also at the end of each month, we would gather this announcements and send them via newsletter. | 07:05:04 |
