Hello,

Hope this message finds you well.

We've gathered some valuable insights from our recent survey on the preferred social media platforms for the WildFly community. Now, it's time to turn those insights into action, especially with the upcoming WildFly mini-conference around the corner. This event provides an excellent opportunity to showcase and promote our community activities.

To streamline our efforts and ensure everyone is on the same page, we've initiated a discussion thread on Zulip[1]. Please join the conversation, share your thoughts, and let's collaborate to make the most of this opportunity.

Hello everyone,

I hope this email finds you well. Recently, we conducted a survey to gather all valuable inputs on the preferred social media platforms for the WildFly community. After a month of running the survey, we received a total of 38 responses from the community members. This feedback is crucial to enhance the WildFly community engagement and outreach efforts. Below I'm listing down survey results.

Preferred Social Media platforms:
1) X - (25/38 Responses) - 65.8%
2) YouTube - (24/38 Responses) - 63.2%
3) LinkedIn - (21/38 Responses) - 55.3%
4) Mastodon - (10/38 Responses) - 26.3%
5) Instagram - (6/38 Responses) - 15.8%
6) Others - (4/38 Responses) - 10.5%
7) Threads - (3/38 Responses) - 7.9%
8) Facebook - (2/38 Responses) - 5.3%

What type of content do community members want to see?
1) Project updates and releases - (35/38 Responses) - 94.6%
2) Technical tutorials and guides - (32/38 Responses) - 86.5%

8) Polls and interactive content - (6/38 Responses) - 16.2%
9) Others - (1/38 Responses) - 2.7%

Additional Feedback
1) For me WildFly presence in social media is OK. Actually I mainly scan through WildFly Project News (https://www.wildfly.org/news/) via RSS subscription :) What I would like to see more is information on CVE (i.e. security vulnerabilities) as security is very important topic for me and I mainly learn about it currently from WildFly User or WildFly Developer mailings groups.
2) Can we have WildFly meet-up just like we have Ansible meet-up and Fedora meet-up. It would be great to understand more about WildFly, face to face from the contributors themselves.

Now that we have these insightful results, we'd like to encourage you to take a moment to look through them and share your thoughts. We have created a thread in Zulip to discuss more about it so that going forward we all can be on the same page. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any queries.
