Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LinkedIn page

Hi everyone,

This discussion has prompted me to look at libreoffices other social media.

There's a constant stream of content on Facebook, content that would be good enough to republish as 
is on LinkedIn.

Is anyone here responsible for Facebook? We could just post the same things on LinkedIn.

There's plenty of social media monitoring tools with free tiers that would save us needing to 
double handle posts.

Let me know what you think of this idea, it's an easy way to scale up our presence on LinkedIn 
without too much extra work.

Regards,
Thomas
