Proposal: publicity coverage of DebConf
Dear all
Unfortunately I'm not traveling to Cape Town but I'd like to help to get
a nice semi-live coverage of the event. I hope we all can contribute to
that with microblogging and blogposts.
Note: this proposal is mainly about posting with the official @debian
account in the Pump.io network ( https://identi.ca/debian ), in a
similar fashion as we do with the release coverage. Mirrors/repeats in
non official accounts and microblogging with @debconf are also welcome.
What can we do?
* Use tags in your microblogging, when appropiate: #DebConf16 mainly.
#DebConf #SouthAfrica #CapeTown if you consider it can make a difference
in trending topics etc.
* You can mention:
@debian@identi.ca in the Pump.io network
@debian@quitter.se in the GNU Social Network
@debian or @debconf in the nonfree Twitter network
to get the attention for repeating your messages. You can repeat
Debian's messages too :)
* You can propose notes for microblogging leaving a message in the
#debian-publicity IRC channel, starting with "DRAFT:", or vote or
comment other proposals to be published (or not).
I'll try to keep an eye in the channel and publish ASAP. My timezone is
similar as the one in Cape Town so that helps a bit with the coverage :)
* Or you can add/ack proposals in a "filler" file (I'll put there the
schedule and some other notes pre-written):
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/publicity/publicity.git/tree/debconf/filler.txt
* If you are one of the people handling @debconf in Twitter, or other
@debian account, you can keep an eye on the #debian-publicity IRC
channel or on https://identi.ca/debian to publish similar notes, if you
see fit.
* Be vocal about your DebConf activity or the events that you find
interesting there: publish blogposts about what do you do in DebConf16,
your experiences, etc. We'll try to microblog links to them (we'll get
your post via planet.debian.org. If your feed is not there, let us know
about your DebConf articles by IRC or mail to the publicity team anyway!).
* If you have any proposal for more general post(s) to be published in
bits.debian.org, just tell or go ahead and commit a draft.
Keep in mind that from the publicity team channels we try to be
welcoming and friendly to the whole Debian community, and that's quite
diverse: from individual Debian users from all the world, to companies
and organizations giving strong support sponsoring DebConf, public
administrations that use Debian in their critical systems, educational
institutions that contribute to Debian or do research about it... bear
with us if we choose not to publish or repeat certain notes too ;)

Have a nice time at DebConf16!
Cheers
