[OSGeo-Discuss] Is OSGeo presence on ${one-letter-asocial-media} still desirable?

[Jody Garnett]

We do not have an active volunteer to communicate on x. It is worth keeping
account to avoid someone else taking the OSGeo handle.

Marketting committee asked for help on Facebook, LinkedIn, Mastsdon, etc…
If you are active on anything it can be a great service to repost content
from our members as OSGeo to provide more reach.

Aside: For GeoServer [CVE-2024-36401](
https://geoserver.org/vulnerability/2024/09/12/cve-2024-36401.html) I
resorted to using twitter to get the word out due to urgency.
