Hi Axel,
I send you a Github invite to be a member of the POC, as myself and JC (and everyone is invited)
JC and I are currently owner with full access, you will be a member for now, but if you thing you need more let me know!
*Could you please put your info into: https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/problem-solving/issues/9 (Social Media improvement)*
- *The way you like! but try to be as short as possible (less is more)*. The document (an issue) try to collect ideas/problems and solutions on a subject: so more ideas and solutions are better, "why some are good and other no so?" is a matter of discussion but to compare solution, the current admins need:
- To fix a goal
- To define prerequisites if any.
- Then to compare solutions
- And finally to decide/choose the best solution
As so far, it seems to me that there is not any goal fixed, an evaluation cannot be wrong : it depends... so your evaluation is valuable like any other: so do not hesitate to put it! And of course, this can be adjusted if wrong or not applicable when the context is clearer: so just do not hesitate to write what you want!
For your info you will find in this document(issue) the elements of JC that I just dropped into it. I just strip as much as I can without striping the main info , I try not to bother JC: he has already much think to do: so I try to do things for him, and I can do that also for others in some case, but the idea is to have something collaborative, better than a mailing list, especially for follow subject.
- I choose Github issue
? - As it can be edited directly by any member
? - So anyone can correct anything that is wrong: like my English (I do a lot of mistake in English, as it is not my language, so sorry for that) , or any more technical stuff or Xymon things,...
? - If you want to correct something but you are not sure: strike-through? the text (like "~~text~~") that you want to replace and add the one you want.
? - Github issues have an history: (click on edited) so it should not be a problem to revert a mistake (but I did not play much with this feature): and it is a POC. so no problem in any case!
Let me know if there is a problem! I will certainly need to fix something (in the form, the content, the way to collaborate ...)
Everyone do what he can: no problem if you don't do anything for this POC: and I know this is not the most exciting part of a project...
So thanks you in any case
Regards
Bruno

Along the lines of the previous update, I've reactivated a Facebook page
that I'd set up for the project a long while back (which FB had hidden
over time), as well as created handle accounts on various social media
services:
https://facebook.com/XymonMonitor
New accounts have been created here, primarily for #hashtag and @account
reference purposes at the moment:
https://twitter.com/XymonMonitor
https://instagram.com/XymonMonitor
https://reddit.com/u/XymonMonitor
Might be my bubble, but does anyone in IT still use these platforms,
especially Twitter and Reddit?
In 2023, I'd kinda expected a Fediverse (e.g. Mastodon, Firefish,
etc.) presence instead of a new account on the centralized and dying
Twitter platform.
Good question is though which Fediverse instance might be a good one
for Xymon. I would _not_ take the biggest generic ones (like
mastodon.social or mstdn.social), but a medium sized one with a good
reputation for reliability and a more or less fitting topic,
floss.social or fosstodon.org maybe.
(There also exists a Mastodon instance named monitoring.cafe. It seems
to be an instance for a monitoring community, but rather new and not
yet open:https://monitoring.cafe/about ? I've asked how their plans
are:https://chaos.social/@xtaran/111176160822935709)
Not sure about Reddit, but it has gotten quite a bad reputation after
some disputes between the company behind it and the community. (Albeit
it IMHO didn't get as bad as Twitter's reputation got after the
Muskocalypse.)
Then again, I've _never_ used Facebook nor Instagram. (Not sure who's
worse these days, Musk or Zuckerberg?) So it really might be just my
bubble.
Kind regards, Axel
