I believe that you have almost no chance to convince Hans to start tweeting, but independent of the level of your expertise, it should not be a problem to start tweeting based solely on posts on the mailing list. * invitations to events * invitations to join user group * whenever Hans posts "I have released a new beta, it has support for this and that" (those emails can be almost automatically "retweeted") * you could announce every single beta, but the problem is that they usually don't come with any explanation, they are too frequent and very often bugfixes that the majority would not notice, or huge chunks of code with new functionality that might be hard to decode * I could send events when something happens in the distribution (but those events will be very scarce) * tip of the day would indeed be very useful, but who is going to contribute them? If tweets would be nice & useful, it could be useful to set up a cron job to send a summary of tweets from that day to the mailing list once per day.
