Heya all,
I did a google search for our facebook pages. Google said that these are the ones we currently have:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/openSUSE/45393742283; product/service with 2600 likes http://www.facebook.com/pages/openSUSE/107715102589260; Interest with 5200 likes http://www.facebook.com/OpenSUSECentral; community page with 5280 likes http://www.facebook.com/groups/opensuseproject/; group page with 5900 members
I do not know who owns the first one, but I think it should go. I see
Here's the list that contains all the information I collected: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_contacts
I know, I added & changed things also based on the pages I found which were not (yet) mentioned there :D
Bryen making frequent posts, maybe he can make that happen? We should then try and let people know that the other pages are the ones they should go to.
There are 6 admins - including Bryen and myself. I didn't know it was not documented on the wiki page, so just did it.
Aah, ok. Any chance we can close that page & send a message to ppl it's closed, or just put a big warning saying "this page is closed, the official openSUSE facebook page is HERE (link)"?
In that regard, the second one, despite the 5200 likes, should imho go too. Again I do not know who 'owns' it but I see Stuart making frequent posts, could you do this, Stuart? Then we need to get you and byren added to the ones left: the community page and the facebook group.
These two are the most active so I think it makes most sense to focus on them. And obviously I'd rather see the OpenSUSECentral stay as it has a much prettier URL. I will try to get OpenSUSECentral renamed to openSUSE. There is an individual with that name, let's see if we can get it. If not, let's at least try to rename OpenSUSECentral to openSUSECentral.
Gertjan is one of the masters of the OpenSUSECentral page. Gertjan, could you give me and SatManUK (stuart tanner, http://www.facebook.com/georgianpropertiesuk) access too? Stuart offered to be our social media master for the openSUSE 12.1 release so he has things to post to the page and I just like to be in control :D
Jos, Stuart offered to work Facebook and one russion team - but not all of Social media AFAIR.
Ow, sorry stuart, for trying to put more work on your shoulders :D
Comments, suggestions? Please, if you know who can change anything on the first two pages, let me know! If we can't remove them we can at least put a notice and a link there to our 'big' pages...
Consolidation is good. The question is for me, is how to do it best - and whether it makes sense t ohave both a page and a group or not.
We now have 5 or 6 pages. 3 should obviously go. If we manage that we've got a huge improvement. Let's then keep the two biggest pages (one group, one 'interest page') open. The group has seen a lot of work by chuck to see it alive and is the biggest we have. The page has the nicest link (openSUSECentral) so we should try to keep that one too imho.
