Well, we want to PROMOTE QA, right? Then what is the point of making it private? Everybody will saw that it's private, say "Uh...No" and walk away. Not the best idea. Regards, smartboyhw 2012/8/20 Phill Whiteside > Hi Gema, > > there is on Facebook a subtle but important difference between open

Hi Gema, there is on Facebook a subtle but important difference between open, private & hidden. A private group is advertised to all, but requires acceptance to join. The reason I chose private is that it does reduce the attacks by spammers. As we all have better things to do than run around clean

Hi. Really, elfy, not supposed to be attacking you, but then Facebook is indeed the most popular social networking system around (though it's stock prices keeps falling down:) We do need, I think, advertising for QA. People will mainly think that contributing to Ubuntu means coding ad writing docu

There are times I also hate some of social media. I'm pretty adamant that social media is used *ONLY* to reach more people and that requests for support are directed to the existing channels that they can be of use. Even at this early stage, the new QA facebook page had a support reque
