Do we need an Open Org social media manager?

[LauraHilliger]

We are discussing the possibility of getting someone to help corral our stuff and create social media content.

OSPO teams might need one and this person might be Fulltime and useful for all OSPO teams?

At the very least, it might be nice to set a 2021 goal of recruiting more community participants with social media management and strategy experience. This is a great way for someone to join the project and make a sizeable impact outside the more conventional editorial processes.

As discussed lately, I believe it's time for us to establish this role. A suggestion from the work-in-progress document:

Social media maintainer

This person manages the project’s presence on social media, not only “running” its accounts on various platforms but helping the project develop social media strategy for publicizing releases and recruit new members.

Current platforms:

• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• Web site content?

Nice work, @jimmysjolund. We've needed this (sorely) for some time now and I'm glad we're able to begin thinking about formalizing the role for anyone who'd consider filling it.
