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 following people have Administrator access to Joomla!'s Facebook account:

Guillermo Bravo
Steve Burge
Hagen Graf
Matt Lipscomb
Sander Potjer
Jacques Rentzke
Saurabh Shah
Brian 'Sully' Sullivan, team lead

Administrators are able to post as 'Joomla!', moderate posts, ban spamming or abusive users, add photos (including profile logos), change profile information. On behalf of, and in support of, the Joomla! Community, they enjoy any other privileges Facebook extends to a page Administrators.

Guiding Principles[edit]

We attempt to promote the feature and benefits of Joomla! to a worldwide audience of enthusiasts.
We attempt to post a link each weekday that will be of interest to the Joomla! community, ideally to content hosted on a Joomla.org site.
We strictly avoid controversial links, particularly those which involve Joomla! governance or community politics.
Absolute priority is given to Joomla! releases. In the event of a security or new version release, we post that and only that for 24 hours.
We normally avoid mention of products or services developed by companies in the Joomla! community.
We do try to feature great sites built with Joomla!
We attempt to coordinate our work with Joomla!'s release schedule and the marketing and communications needs of the project as a whole.

Moderation Guidelines[edit]

The Joomla! Volunteer Code of Conduct fully applies to the Joomla! Community gathered on Facebook. Users must conform their behaviour accordingly.
Whenever possible, when posting a link do so without preamble. The article headline is normally descriptive enough.
Links should posted with the best pictures and images pulled via metadata, if any. Click-through metrics are significantly higher for posts which contain an image.
Allow the community to decide if it likes our posts. We as a team do not "Like" our own posts.
We encourage Facebook participants to ask support questions about Joomla! at the Joomla! Forums. This can be done by providing appropriate links whenever possible. We do not provide support via Facebook. To do so usurps the role of the Forum, does not fully integrate the Facebook community with our on-property resources, and increases the workload of the Facebook team.
We encourage Facebook participants to ask support questions about Joomla! extensions and templates of the extension/template developers. If it is possible and expeditious, optionally provide a link to the extension developer's support forums. We do not provide specific support or advice regarding templates or extensions.
We take care to especially encourage new Joomla! users. We allow them to post their projects and to ask questions of the community. We understand that "Like" from Joomla! may go a long way in validating a choice by a new Joomla! user to use our software for her/his web project.

Spam[edit]

Hosting companies may not advertise their services on the Joomla! Facebook wall. We remove these.
We remove posts by extension developers which link to their own sites. We allow, within a reasonable frequency, an extension developer to mention her/his listing in the Joomla! Extensions Directory, particularly when promoting a security update.
We do not allow posts which are not Joomla!-related, are purely commercially or politically motivated, or which do not advance the goals of Joomla! and the worldwide FOSS community.

Likes[edit]

No individuals are "Likes" of the Joomla! Facebook account, nor should any be. The following organizations presently are "Likes" of the Joomla! Facebook account:

MySQL
PHP
Software Freedom Law Center
The Linux Foundation

Joomla! Google Plus[edit]

The following people have Administrator access to Joomla!'s Facebook account:

Google Plus will be used for PR initiatives, branding purposes, reaching new volunteers, and community cultivation. It will also be used to share blog posts, pictures, videos, ideas from volunteers in the community. Most importantly, it will be used to instigate top level conversations about the project.
