[Media] Social Media - update on merging linux.conf.au Facebook pages

[Linux Australia President]

Hola compadres,

Hope this note finds you all well and not flooded or storm damaged ;-)

Quick update on the attempts to merge all of the previous Facebook pages
for linux.conf.au into one for promotional glory. TL;DR: we got there,
but with issues.


        What you need to know

The authoritative page is now:

https://www.facebook.com/linuxconferenceaustralia

URLs for other Facebook pages will now redirect to this address, including

https://www.facebook.com/linuxconfau

How long this redirection will occur for is unknown, but the (poorly
arranged and useless) documentation suggests it will be permanent. If it
is not, I will attempt to change the name back to /linuxconfau to match
Twitter and the domain name.


        Other info

Bruce and James, you have been given God Powers on the page  - when
you're ready, update the page with Sydney 2018 branding. A smattering of
Council have also been given God Powers so that we can transition to
2019, 2020 and so on smoothly in the future (no reflection on 2018 that
transition will be anything other than smooth).

The 'likes' from the other pages have transferred over to this Page
(this was painful to do and I won't speak of it here, lest it unleash
demonic spirits). This means the Page has over 630 'Likes' now and
should be a strong promotional tool.

2018 team - you should think about how Facebook will be used as a
Marketing channel as part of your Marketing and Promotions plan.


As always, questions and comments warmly welcomed.

Best, K.
