Expanding the Xubuntu Community: Matrix & Discourse

Hello, and thanks for reaching out! To answer your questions directly:

what’s the status of the Facebook page?

While we still have a Facebook presence, it is not actively maintained. Our primary social media strategy is on Mastodon.

is anyone managing the X (Twitter) account?

We have decided to exit Twitter and move our social media to Mastodon. We made the announcement here: https://x.com/Xubuntu/status/1886754277177123276

And last but no least, I’ve read about an incident on Xubuntu.org website.

Is the xubuntu.org site up to date?

We’re eagerly awaiting the official communication from our hosting provider on this. We’ll share additional details once they’re available. For now, the download page has been taken offline. Official ISO downloads are still available from the Ubuntu servers:

…but if the site is managed by a Wordpress system or any other CMS (content management system) I could check it from time to time to keep it up to date.

We’re actively developing a static site on Hugo to replace our WordPress instance. We hope to launch it soon.

I know on Facebook a page admin can allow someone to become an editor, so they can publish news, articles and all that without compromising the page.

Please let me know if I can help, what are the requirements and all that. Either here or by private messages. I don’t have much time, but I can do stuff once or twice a week.

I’ll share this with our Facebook admin and they should be able to follow up or share the requirements to me.

Thank you for the kind message and offer to help out!
