    * Rogan gave an overview of historic social media activity and possible priorities going forward.
    * Question about new blog posts posting to Twitter / Facebook etc. - this had been via Evergreen Planet - culprit likely a broken plugin

    * Discussion: what to follow Twitter?
      * Mastodon probably most viable but runs afoul of the GDPR
      * Orgs like Koha, Internet Archive, etc. are on Mastodon
      * BlueSky? Spoutible? Lemmy? Substack?
      * Rogan points out that it's valuable to at least secure our namespace on new socials - Rogan will create EG community accounts on some of these services & work on a better way to share passwords.
