Social Media Working Group
From Joomla! Documentation
Welcome to the Tweet & Fbing Team[edit]
it's me, Hagen Graf, and I want to invite you to join the Joomla! Tweet Team! It started July 28th as simple 'one tweet a day job' and now we are trying to clean up a bit. First we collect information ...
Facebook[edit]
Team[edit]
The team is actually 16 people and I'm (Sully) loathe to expand it. It's most of the CoC (Community oversight committee), a lot of OSM, a few from CLT, a few from the Forum global mods and that's it.
Rules[edit]
- No politics or governance at all.
- One post per weekday except in unusual circumstances.
- Priority goes to Joomla! releases--if there's a security or new version release, we post that and only that for 24 hours.
- Do not "Like" our own posts.
- We normally avoid mentioning about products or services developed by companies.
- We do mention great sites built with Joomla.
The challenge with FB is that we need to moderate discussion, encourage newbies and take out the spam
Twitter[edit]
List of known channels[edit]
The"official ones"[edit]
as far as I/we now
- Twitter: @joomla - Follow us. This account is primarily for official Joomla news and Joomla.org content.
- Twitter: @joomlaevents - Follow us. This account is primarily for news about Joomla events.
- Facebook: is http://www.facebook.com/joomla - Like us
Aggregator pages[edit]
For @joomla http://community.joomla.org/connect/social.html
There are lists of accounts related to Joomla too
Official Accounts Run by Other Parts of the Joomla Project[edit]

- Twitter: @OSMatters
- Twitter: @JoomlaCLT
- Twitter: @JoomlaDeveloper <- an old, official account but the password has been lost.
The Team[edit]
"We" are at the moment[edit]
There are more people which are not in the tweet team but able to tweet from the @joomla account. We try to collect all of them.
Informal Skype Chat[edit]
I created a Skype Chat called "Joomla! Tweet Team #joott" Skype was the easiest solution so far
Join the Skype chat
Already joined the chat to propose, discuss and schedule tweets (names in alphabetical order):
Amy Stephen, Ana Frade, arvind, Gary Brooks, Hils Cheyne, Isidro Baquero Jacques Rentzke, Jon Neubauer, Kendall Cabe Peter Bui, Mark W. Bender, Sandra Ordonez, Saurabh Shah, Simon Wells-k2joom, Brian 'Sully' Sullivan , Tess Neale,
How to join?
- send me your Skype user via twitter or add me on Skype (user hagengraf) and I'll add you to the chat
- ask someone mentioned above to add you to the chat
We want to tweet @joomla
- retweet interesting tweets about Joomla! in general
- tweet each day one or more interesting links from joomla.org
We want to tweet @joomlaevents
- retweet interesting tweets about Joomla! events (Joomla Days/Joomla User Groups)
- tweet each day one or more interesting links from joomla.org
Therefore we need your help to find the real cool links/tweets.
We have five principles UNDER CONSTRUCTION:[edit]
These principles will be heavily discussed in the tweet chat!
- no biting or scratching - translated, this means play nice!
- Sander, Javier and me are allowed to tweet (I don't know whether we have more users with the permission to tweet)
- In case of lack of consensus, any of us 3 have the final decision
- The Joomla accounts are primarily for official Joomla news and for content on Joomla.org. So we normally avoid tweeting about products or services developed by companies, unless there's an exceptional reason
- We do mention great sites built with Joomla. Tweet us @joomla to bring them to our attention.
we have these principles because

The plan for the future[edit]
- most important: Tweet as described above
next steps:
- collecting the existing 'structure' of social media in Joomla!
- having an ongoing chat to discuss
- edit this page if we have a cool idea
- making the world a better place using Joomla! to do it!
Send us your tweet proposal :)[edit]
