Hi Sam,
Sorry for the delay. Yes I also think it's a good idea to re-activate it
if we manage to keep it alive.
1) I made a quick search of the mailing list archive, and it looks like
nobody knows who created the https://twitter.com/kdenlive account. Back
in 2011 we were already wondering... I don't know if there is any way to
contact the author or to request the access...
2) I would go for an official account, you are an active member of the
community! It's just important that several people have access to the
account so that we can ensure that we always have access to it...
Regards
jb

I notice there's often a bit of activity on
https://twitter.com/hashtag/kdenlive - people either showing off their
work, or complaining that something doesn't work. It would be great to
have an active kdenlive account to promote the nice work people are
doing, retweet relevant info, update on development progress, link to
blog posts, while also being able to guide complainers to the forum,
let them know there's an update available, etc.
I'm very happy to do this, I'm on twitter quite a bit for OSCEdays and
my own account anyway.
Two questions:
1) does anyone know who was running the account
https://twitter.com/kdenlive ?
no updates since 2011, it's not a good look for the project. If we
know who ran it, we can ask them if we can take over the URL.
2) is it ok for me to represent kdenlive in a somewhat official
capacity, or should it be non-official?
The difference would be:
Official: the user is called 'Kdenlive' and description would be
something like "an intuitive and powerful Free Software video editor"
If others want to join me in running the account, great! if not, we
can just add a "tweets by @cameralibre" note to the description to
make it clear that it's not actually JBM.
This way people are likely to start conversations with the account,
address complaints there directly, etc. (I see this as a positive, I
can try to solve frustrations and direct people to the right place for
more info/help)
Non-Official: the user is called something like 'Kdenlive Tips" or
"Kdenlive News"
The advantage here is that you avoid a situation like the current one,
where an 'official' social media account is abandoned, making the
project look bad, or worse, if the person running the account behaves
badly and says things that do not represent the community. To solve
the abandonment issue I can make sure that devs also have login
details, and to solve the 'misrepresenting the community' problem, I
promise to be a mature adult and avoid saying anything stupid :)
let me know what you think!
