[Rick Timmis <ricktimmis68@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The KC has discussed social media recently, and we realised that we have
lots of separate channels, often managed independent of and some no longer
actively cared for.

There has been a suggestion of Hootsuite, which I have been looking into.

I think you're right Walter we do need to be able to build a team of folks
around our social channels. I also think it would make sense to use some
form of posting tool like Hootsuite.

I am thinking perhaps a LP team, like the website team. I don't know how
that is setup but it gives a few of us an Ubuntu One sign on for the
website, and we can just add or remove folks from the team.

If we could do that with a team sign-on to Hootsuite, and maybe setup a
team mailing list, perhaps that would work.
