Dear all,

Last week I created the new Jenkins-related Twitter account: https://twitter.com/memkins. The goal of this channel is to repost funny memes and comics about Jenkins, while delivering best practices to end users. Although this channel will include more sarcasm and self-criticism than the official channel, the plan is to keep it overall positive w.r.t Jenkins. It will also remain within the Jenkins Code of Conduct boundaries.

In the Jenkins Advocacy and Outreach SIG we had many discussions about adopting a social media as code approach so that we could simplify content contributions and to simplify reviews. Currently we do it manually via Tweetdeck and Gitter based content reviews, and the process is not that productive. In the case of Twitter, there is a GitHub action for that: https://github.com/gr2m/twitter-together . I briefly evaluated it for personal use, but the value would be rather evaluating it in a shared account. And it looks much more convenient to test it on Memkins instead of the official Jenkins accounts.

With permission of the community, I would like to do the following:
  • Create a jenkinsci/memkins GitHub repository
  • Create a GitHub action which would post Tweets to @memkins. Effectively it means that, in addition to the current moderators, all GitHub Org Admins will get access to the account
  • Evaluate and document the flow
If the experiment goes well, we can later update the IRC bot (or use another automation), to automate pull requests to the repository via a chat command or a GitHUb App form. Then we will be able to apply the same to the main @jenkinsci or other accounts if all goes well.

Best regards,
Oleg Nenashev

Hi all,

First edition of Twitter as Code is live!
The next step is to add meme image generation from code, with previews support.
All contributions are welcome!

Best regards,
Oleg
