<div>Hi.</div><div> </div><div>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 documentation, which is indeed a incorrect thought.</div>
<div> </div><div>I do agree that the social platform for Ubuntu QA is non-technical. If we really are a bit to technical, in the end no one will do QA for ourselves.</div><div> </div><div>But then, social platform is indeed the newest way to communicate, so I have no problems in it.</div>

</div>Hi, I have been thinking about this social media stuff to coordinate. I<br>
have mixed feelings, I particularly go through phases of hating facebook<br>
and stop using it completely, if we move all the communication there as<br>
opposite to email, I will miss good chunks.<br>
<br>
Facebook is not an open platform, there are no open archives for people<br>
that do not use facebook and we are forcing people basically to give<br>
their data away if they want to collaborate with us.<br>
<br>
There are others who their parents, rightfully in my opinion, keep away<br>
from facebook and other social media that may not be suitable for their<br>
age, and we would be excluding them from conversations.<br>
<br>
I think social media are good to share news with others, but are not the<br>
right place to have technical discussions.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Gema<br>
