Apologies for letting this thread go cold, I did want to post the resolution. The Arrow PMC does have access to the Twitter account and I believe it's Raúl who has resumed tweeting about blogs/releases starting with 15.0.1. Thanks Raúl and the other PMC members for the help. No additional social

Thanks all for the replies so far. To summarize, the answers to my original questions are: > 1. Who has access to @ApacheArrow [1]? Raúl messaged the PMC list (thanks!) and some members of the PMC still have the original credentials for the @ApacheArrow Twitter account. > 2. Is the community sti

Buffer [1] looks like a reasonably similar, cheaper alternative to Hootsuite. For the scale of this project, what costs at least $249/mo with Hootsuite costs $36/mo with Buffer. X Premium [2] is $8/mo and would give the project back the ability for multiple people to post to @ApacheArrow from their

I also find it a useful tool to follow other projects...there may be a good replacement for it at some point but in the meantime I would love to see releases + blog posts tweeted (or retweeted by) the official account. -dewey On Tue, Jan 30, 2024 at 6:01 AM Raúl Cumplido wrote: > > El lun, 29 en

The easiest thing is to share the Twitter credentials with any PMC member who is interested in sending tweets (which is usually a very small number). To answer Antoine’s point. I have found Twitter an extremely effective way for an open-source project to communicate with the “exo-community” — pe

Is there a different tool other than TweetDeck available that can synchronize posts that go out on different social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Mastodon, etc.)? I've heard of things like Hootsuite but that's pretty expensive and definitely overkill for an open source project, but perhaps there is

My 2 cents : I don't understand what an open source project gains by publishing on a microblogging platform. As for Twitter specifically, its recent governance changes would be good reason for terminating the @ApacheArrow account, IMHO. Regards Antoine. Le 27/01/2024 à 23:06, Bryce Mecu
