Tweet release notes

[RichardLitt]

One thing that we could do for Nock is to tweet all of our release notes on Twitter at @nodenock, our twitter account. In particular, I think this would be great for tweeting Pull Requests when they are merged.

We could also create a backlog of contributors who have contributed in the past, and pinging them on twitter with thanks. Do you think that would be a nice idea?

Ping @gr2m :)

[gr2m]

I’ll work on this, stay tuned

It’s ready: https://github.com/gr2m/twitter-together. Unfortunately we have to wait until nock will be enabled for GitHub Actions, I signed up nock for the beta

[RichardLitt]

Awesome! Do you know how long that will take?

[gr2m]

No idea unfortunately, I’ll comment here once we have it

[mastermatt]

I think we can mark this issue as complete! https://twitter.com/nodenock

[RichardLitt]

Is it now automatic? :D

[mastermatt]

Ohhhh, I missed that. No, it's still a manual process.

[gr2m]

I would not automate this, it might cause too much noise. And I would not automating thanking contributors. From my experience, it needs a human taking some time appreciating another human for thanks to be worth something.

But we could do some automation to help us not forget about doing these tweets :)

[RichardLitt]

Something like an email to remind us to thank people, once a release is out?

[gr2m]

or maybe a new issue in a repository dedicated to people who do editorial/community management tasks?

[RichardLitt]

That would work. Keeps it on GitHub. (Or maybe a CMS site with links to GitHub? Probably overkill.)

Back when I had time to work on this (which hopefully I will get some time back to!) I would ❤️ lots of contributions (including posts in issues) that I'd like to thank people for. I think this was @gr2m's idea. If we could collect all the hearts for a time period, that would be a useful reminder of things people have done that we want to thank.

That's what this was for: https://github.com/gr2m/find-hearted-contributions :)
