yeah, I too think that a social media fg is needed and as separate because
it looks to be too independent of even Marketing fg.

Good point, We can have two types of groups: one that work for/inside
ubuntu-eg and the other type for anything else. This will make us as a LUG
that adopts Ubuntu not an Ubuntu LoCo mainly, cooool :)

 @Toulan, I remember that membership style was your suggestion, do you have
any process to do this? (I can't imagine it's process) isn't it
exaggerated, I mean why we don't leave it open, anyone can nominate himself
or get nominated by others and finally El Sandoo2 ye2oul kelmeto! Or we can
just set some prerequisites for joining, like 6months of contribution, be a
member of atleast one FG and so on... I think a membership process for this
purpose will be a overuse.
