I don't know how others feel about this, it's a bit early to tell. Having a mailing list also adds to the already high barrier that IRC is for new users (and team members). I'd love to explore ways to ease transition into new ways to reach wider audiences while including our older ways. > 2.

There is a Debian Facebook group with ~300K followers/likes, and a Twitter account too. If you're interested you will certainly find them. Their content is shared from current posts in Micronews as I understand it, mostly automatically. There was mention of that during the Publicity BoF. Although I agree we can't ignore such channels, our efforts are best used in improving current resources and content - for example having regular Debian Project news which we worked on yesterday. I am only interested in relaying content there, but not in making such social media primary channels (specially not "official"). One idea I presented consisted of regularly indicating on such channels were the source information comes from and why it's not a primary channel, here is an example: https://framasphere.org/posts/3672202 If you have ideas on how to improve this while not encouraging the use of non-free software (which all such social media includes as javascript, for example) and restricted / censored content, it would be appreciated in the publicity team I am sure. Thanks for the reminder that it remains an issue to be addressed. F. -- Fabián Rodríguez http://magicfab.ca/fsf
