Lluís Revilla (09:38:45): > In the past, Bioconductor’s social media didn’t acknowledge special occasions. Recently, I have observed some holiday-related posts. However, I note that these posts primarily celebrate USA holidays and not international ones. I am uncertain if this is a deliberate strategy or my personal interpretation, but I wanted to share my thoughts to help clarify the intended audience.
Kevin Rue-Albrecht (09:48:13): > Good point. I suspect this might be an unintentional bias towards events those preparing and posting those contents are familiar with. I wouldn’t expect any one person to track down all the calendar dates important to all the communities represented in the Bioconductor project. A simple solution to this would be to crowdsource from the community the dates and occasions that the community would like to see featured in Bioconductor posts on social media. Hopefully, we won’t run into any situation whereby an event celebrated by certain members of the community would be offending to other members of the community.
Kevin Rue-Albrecht (09:49:53): > Instead, I would hope that inclusiveness would be reflected in the community in accepting that with one’s own important dates being featured, one would welcome dates important to others may also be featured.
Lori Shepherd (12:41:50): > Bioconductorcoremembers and official accounts as far as I’m aware do not post for social occasions or holidays; it might be just individuals posting? Can you point to some holiday related posts?
Maria Doyle (12:55:56): > Lluís and Kevin, thank you for your feedback and comments. Lori, the holiday posts Lluís referred to were initiated by our social media intern, aiming to add a more personal touch to our presence online. We recognise that these posts were more U.S.-centric, which we now see as an oversight. > > In line with Kevin’s suggestion, I’ll add this topic to the agenda for our next social media working group meeting -whether we continue with holiday posts and if so, whether we should crowdsource holiday dates from our community for more global inclusivity.
Lluís Revilla (12:58:04): > Here are a few: > * Thanksgivinghttps://genomic.social/@bioconductor/111459753052706484 > * Hallowen:https://genomic.social/@bioconductor/111331403758858738,https://genomic.social/@bioconductor/111330703536624755,https://genomic.social/@bioconductor/111329046457105716
Lluís Revilla (13:00:43): > The quality of the images is high:smile:
Lluís Revilla (13:01:26): > If the goal is to add a personal touch I would suggest to the working group that the account could answer questions or redirecting users to the right people (maintainers, core members…) or places (Slack, website, support site…).
Maria Doyle (13:10:09): > Thank you for noting the high quality of the images – it’s great to hear that their standard is appreciated!:smile:With our intern finishing in a few weeks, we will indeed face a challenge in continuing to produce custom-designed content at the same level. Crowdsourcing images and content could be one alternative. Alternatively, as you suggest, focusing more on interaction could be another effective approach.
