Twitter: @ApacheGeode does not have Geode logo yet. We need to add it.
Rest of the channels have our geode logo.

Fellow contributors,
I currently hold @ASFGeode and @ApacheGeode and have not tweeted from
them
awaiting exactly this conversation.
I will set up a TweetDeck account that can be accessed by those with
access
to priv...@geode.inclubator.org, and by those on the PMC, or delegates
thereof.
Perfect! As William captured in his Social media guidelines wiki page
the proposal for this is to be an opt-in scheme. As such, could you
please add my account rhatr to both via the Tweedeck?
I recommend, however, that this single Twitter account, and the
Geode.incubator.Apache.org website be the only communication vehicles
for
the project. My reasons are as follows:
1) Apache Geode is a collaborative software development community, and
its
communications should reflect this. It should not be a marketing engine.
2) Many social media channels are a lot to maintain, and it also dilutes
communications. As a primarily text-based medium, Twitter works well
for
linking and curating to third party content.
Great points! +1
3) We are trying to build a supportive community around Apache Geode, and
we should encourage others to keep their names associated with content
about Geode they create. I believe its good for multiple parties to be
supporting Geode, not just have a monolithic Geode brand in this case.
4) How does the PMC decide what content is Geode branded and what
content
is not Geode branded? I recommend we keep this very simple: Software
versions, official product documentation, and the website are Geode
branded. Everything else should be branded according to its producer
source. Apache Geode can curate such content, but leave it branded, and
residing on the source feed of the producer.
Both are really great point, but I think there's a happy medium. Lets take
slideshare as an example: things that are linked/embedded from our wiki
would make sense (in my mind) to be posted under Geode account on
slideshare. Things that are more personal voices/etc. make total sense
under personal accounts.
Long story short: I agree with you that usage of anything other than
Twitter
account will not be huge, but I also think we should reserve the handles
and even post things there from time to time.
Makes sense?
Thanks,
Roman.
