Hi guys,
I know we don't generally publish blog posts about Wikimedia project
anniversaries, but what's our opinion on running social for these?
For example, here's one for eswiki:
https://twitter.com/Wikipedia/status/601097661505212416
I think within reason this would be a cool thing to do more regularly, and
would add something to our SM repertoire as well.
best,
Joe

MIT Tech Review wrote an interesting piece that would be great for
social... here's some proposed copy.

Hi everyone,
Victor just brought up this video from 2012 that might be good for
Wikimania promotion, geo-targeted for Spanish speaking countries.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3QTgP3aPU
Thoughts on sending this out? Could someone suggest some social text? We'll
want to translate to Spanish.
Thanks!

If not too late maybe use an OA related hashtag for one of the OA
references. (I guess #OpenAccess is probably in use?)

This is a pretty cool bit of news out of Spain, and might be good to post
in the run up to Wikimania.
Potential social:
*Twitter:*
• 23,000 sound files donated to Wikimedia by the Joaquin Diaz Foundation in
Valladolid
Probably not worth posting on Facebook unless we target to Spanish-speaking
countries, since the article's obviously in Spanish.
best,
Joe
