As we discussed at UDS, I'm happy to help out with the portal during
this cycle. We already have some action items, and I think we can
start from those.

I'm not that great Facebook user I have to say... more and more I'm
using Google+, and I'm more than happy with Kenneth on tha admin side
now, if in the future he needs help there, I'm happy to give an hand.

I think we discussed a little bit about this during UDS, even if it
was for aggregating all of these inside the web portal. I know that
"posterous" and "tumblr" (social blog platform) do something like
this: you write your own blog post, and you can send it to twitter and
whatever else... I think you can write small 140-chars messages that
will be automatically shared. Do not know if something like that could
be integrated inside Drupal or if it is worth to consider using
something like that. Just ideas.

Ciao.
