Whether you're posting from a personal account about Apache Wave or posting from one of the official accounts, there are a few things you want to keep in mind.

• Anything said in public is fair game for press.
  • Never post anything via social media you wouldn't want to see reported on news sites.

• Make sure what you're saying/sharing is appropriate for all audiences, and reflects well on Apache Wave.
  • Be polite when talking about Wave and responding to questions.
  • Informal voice is OK, unprofessional is not.
  • Absolutely no use of NSFW language, images, or scenarios when using official Apache Wave accounts – and avoid associating Apache Wave with anything that is likely to be considered offensive.

• Share relevant, positive information.
  • Feel free to share stories about Apache Wave, whether they come from the Apache Wave community, tech press, or folks outside of the press and community.
  • Avoid sharing negative stories about "competing" projects.
  • Keep posts/reposts relevant. Everybody loves LOLCats, but it's probably best not to share them from the official

• • Apache Wave social media accounts.
  • Please share event information so long as it's Apache Wave-related. e.g. Promoting an event where there are talks about Apache Wave is spot-on. Promoting an event only because a vendor that has an interest in Apache Wave is participating would be outside the scope of Apache Wave social media accounts.

• Be sure information is public
  • Companies sometimes discuss plans/ideas informally at events. It's often a good idea to ask before sharing information on social media if it might be considered non-public. (For example, information presented during a talk should be fair game. Information shared over dinner may not be for public dissemination.)

• Apache Wave does not have "sponsors", events and activities have sponsors.
  • Avoid language like $foo_company is sponsoring the Apache Wave project.
  • Companies can sponsor events and activities. For example, $foo_company is hosting a Apache Wave meetup in Atlanta this weekend.
  • When using group video chat tools, identify yourself in captions and "lower third" tools in relationship to your Apache Wave participation, unless a person is an invited guest with other affiliations.

• Don't use Apache Apache Wave social media accounts to promote unrelated commercial activities.

• When in doubt, ask

Consider no response or a majority of committers not dissenting after 24 hours consent to publish; however, dissenting opinions should be considered respectfully prior to posting. Apache PMC members have a right of veto for Apache Wave-branded postings. The other contributors on the list will always be happy to discuss and guide other contributors on what is and isn't appropriate for our social media activities.
