Description

Some projects and working groups within the OSSF have expressed the desire to have social media handles that represent their project or group, e.g. X handles, LinkedIn, Mastodon, etc. We currently don't have guidelines or governance around this and I think it is worthwhile for us to allow the use of social media as long as some (hopefully) simple guidelines are met.

There's some pretty clear MUST NOTs like:

  • No endorsements of products
  • Any posts that would violate CoC

I think there's some reasonable things we can put in place like if a TI owns a social media account there should be guidelines within the TI on its use. Maybe some mechanism for having the account change hands, especially if there are issues with CoC violations or bad actors.

Thoughts? If this is a good idea, I'll also draft up a document on this as well.
