In todays meeting, we had a good discussion about the manging ilugc
activities and getting more people for volunteers.
People suggested that creating a facebook group for ilugc.
We may get more volunteers and participants for the events, if we goto
facebook.
Why Facebook and not anyother Libre social network that can be
self-hosted (example - Diaspora, Friendica, StatusNet, Pump.io)? That
way we can have full control over the privacy and the data of the
users. Of course on Facebook a lot of people already have accounts and
are active, but when people can join a mailing list to participate,
why not a social network? If we do such a thing we will also be
promoting free software instead of proprietary, vendor locked, walled
gardens. That said, I am okay with posting events and notifications on
all the popular social networks.
Thanks & Regards,
