Re: Thoughts on Twitter (or Social Networking in general)

 

I was not aware of librelist.  That looks like a great solution and we
can ditch Launchpad completely.  +1.

As far as migrating away from launchpad, we'll want to preserve our
bugs as much as possible for documentation purposes.  Maybe a tool
like https://github.com/termie/lp2gh will help us preserve most of
that information.  This isn't going to be high priority for me, but if
someone feels like working on this sort of thing, please go ahead. :)

There is no management control… but its as easy as emailing '<list_you_want>@librelist.org' and confirming list creation in the email they send you.  One of the biggest pitfalls for LP lists I think is that users have to join Launchpad, and join the team in LaunchPad before being able to join the list.  With librelist.org its as easy as telling people to 'email holland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'.

But it got me to thinking that maybe we should also branch out a bit more in terms of promoting Holland outside of the Rackspace walls. It's a project that has so much potential beyond just solid MySQL backups at the Rack. One thought I had was maybe setting up a Twitter account we can share and post updates to about new features and things?

Once the new blog gets setup, I think we ought to shoot for at least bi-weekly updates to the project, by various members of the Holland team if we could. Work has been happening on 12.04 for instance, and 1.1 is still right around the corner.
