I am member of the Spanish team too, translating the website. I contribute to Debian there, in the www and publicity team, but less than what I would like to and definitely less than what you already contribute. Congrats!
This is the things that are on my mind about social media/publicity, maybe we can do them together or distribute work or think more ideas:
* follow this list (I'm doing it, mostly lurking, but I keep myself informed)
* join the channels at IRC (summer quite away from keyboard, but from now on I'll do it)
* read the wiki pages about debconf15 organization (pending!)
* propose messages to be published by the Debian official microblogging account, or write paragraphs about dc15 for the Debian Project News... Be a human link between DC15 organisation and the Publicity team. More info about how to do that here: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity
* Mirror/repeat/promote the info that produces the DC15 team (blog posts, news...) and the official Debian identi.ca account in the social networks where I am present: pump.io and GNUSocial.
* Translate the sponsorship brochure (when it's ready) and maybe other relevant info or announces into Spanish (probably English and German are enough, but Spanish is one language that opens the door of almost one continent, and it's not much work anyway). Maybe put workforce in translating the Debian Project News these year can do the job: half the work (short news) and double results (for dc15 and debian promotion).
Any help in those tasks is welcome, plus the tasks that I suppose are in the wiki (I'll read them tonight) plus any other thing you imagine. Areas that I'll not cover and so, help would be double welcome: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ (I don't use them), tasks needed in the days of the conference (quite probably that I cannot attend).
Feel free to ping me in the Debian IRC channels (I'm larjona) or by mail, in Spanish or English.
