#11048 FAS group rename and email: "fedora-socialmedia" => "Fedora Social Media Admin Team"
Closed: Fixed by kevin. Opened by jflory7.

Describe what you would like us to do:


The fedora-socialmedia group in FAS needs a new name and contact address:

  • Name: Fedora Social Media Admin Team
  • Contact email: fedora-socialmedia-members [at] fedoraproject [dot] org

When do you need this to be done by? (2022-12-16)


End of the week (Friday, 16 Dec) would be nice. But it is not an urgent request. It came up in a recent discussion that the existence of this group was hard to find, so this is a step to make the social media team more visible and defined.


I don't think we can use spaces in group names...

Or do you mean the current "Fedora Social Media" displayname? Thats easy to change and I have done so. :)

The contact email should already go to that alias. :)

So, if it's just that, this should be done. I'll let you confirm/close or clarify. ;)

@jflory7 any thoughts on above?

@kevin Yes, I meant the display name and that is what I wanted there! Thank you! :raised_hands:

However, there seems to be some special field in the new account system for showing a group contact alias in the group profile. I see that in other groups but I don't see that in the fedora-socialmedia group. Screenshots below for comparison:

Screenshot of the Fedora CommOps group in FAS, where an IRC room and email address are shown.

Screenshot of the Fedora Social Media group in FAS, where an IRC room and email address are NOT shown.

Yeah, we can set those. What do you want them set to?

The contact email can be the address given in the first ticket comment, fedora-socialmedia-members [at] fedoraproject [dot] org. For the IRC/Matrix room, I guess we could use #marketing:fedoraproject.org or #fedora-marketing:libera.chat, preferring Matrix over IRC if the field supports that.

Metadata Update from @nb:
- Issue assigned to nb

Updated as requested. The field is called "IRC network and channel", so I put #fedora-marketing:libera.chat

@nb Thanks, the email address looks good! But one minor thing, I guess the :libera.chat suffix wasn't needed because the field appends @irc.libera.chat to the IRC channel. Could you drop that one piece from the IRC channel name? Then the link will work as expected for someone using the irc:// URI.

Sorry that this is being such a tedious request! I appreciate the help.

Fixed. ;)

Let us know if there's anything further.
