Social Media Working Group

Scope of responsibilities

This working group will manage Django's official social media profiles on behalf of the Django Software Foundation.

The goals of the group are:

Promote the use of Django among the World Wide Web development community.
Protect the framework's long-term viability through campaigns and sponsor relations.
Ensure the DSF’s Code of Conduct is maintained on its media channels.
Assist the board in posting official news and updates from the DSF.

The group opts to manage platforms that best achieve these goals. This may be a subset of those for which Django has accounts.

Delegated responsibilities:

The Chair, Co-Chair and Board Liaison can grant access to Django's official social media profiles to other group members as needed.
Members can post content to Django's official social media profiles, in alignment with the working group's agreed goals, without a board review.
Members can perform actions such as “like”, “repost” or “comment” as Django, when it aligns with the working group's agreed goals, without a board review.
Members can perform maintenance and monitor the automations which post DSF news and updates to social media channels.
Members can enforce the Code of Conduct. This may include moderating comments that do not meet our CoC or blocking users that grossly or repeatedly violate the CoC.

Actions to take back to the DSF Board for votes:

Chair: Benjamin Balder Bach
Co-Chair: Bhuvnesh Sharma
Board Liaison (must be an active Board member; may be the same as Chair/Co-Chair): Thibaud Colas
Other members:
- Cory Zue
- Jason Judkins
- Sarah Boyce
- Sarah Abderemane

Members must have demonstrable experience with social media platforms, and be registered as a Django Software Foundation Individual Member.

The working group will discuss and vote (50%+1) to approve new members.

Members join the group for a 6-month term. At the end of this term, they need to opt into staying involved to keep being a member of the group.

If any member wishes to leave the group before the end of their term, they can do so without a vote.

Members can propose a vote on removing a member from the working group. This needs 50%+1 agreement.

The working group will have no allocated budget.

We'll email a written report to the board every quarter.
