Hi Andrew,
Not totally sure but I guess that Clement (Cc ) knows about the social accounts.

Cheers,
Peter

LDAPCon 2013 used Lanyrd and Eventbrite for advance bookings. This seemed
to work reasonably well from a delegate point of view, and of course most of
the likely attendees for 2015 now have Lanyrd accounts...

Does anyone know more about Lanyrd from an organiser's perspective?
Ludo - who should we talk to in LDAPGTF?
Lanyrd seem to be a US-based organisation, so there is a risk that we lose
quite a lot in currency conversion charges as well as fees.

FLOSSUK/UKUUG have agreed to handle the money, and I see that their Spring
conference this year is also using Eventbrite but the final payment will not
have gone through before we need to choose.
Kimball and Stephen: do you have any more background on this?

Thinking about other social media: LDAPCon 2013 used Twitter, Facebook,
Google+ and Lanyrd. There was activity on all of them, but with a clear
preference for Twitter. Nothing much happened on Facebook after the initial
announcement (or at least, nothing that is visible without an account).
There did not appear to be any use of LinkedIn.

We obviously need a presence on social media. Who will volunteer to maintain it?

I have started posting stuff on LinkedIn, but it seems to be a bit transient -
maybe we need a 'company page' for the conference?

I see that https://twitter.com/ldapcon describes itself as 'Official account
for LDAPcon, international LDAP conference' so it would be good to carry on
using that account. Does anyone know who controls it?

Andrew
