No, and it will never have. We don’t look for any ways to promote ❤aaS. The only way to promote ❤aaS is by word of mouth. Users can share more about the ❤aaS philosophy and values and the ❤aaS projects individually with their friends and colleagues but ❤aaS as a community will never have any social accounts nor will invest any efforts into marketing itself.
Where is ❤aaS community located?
The initial place is ❤aaS Github account since it’s needed to run the ❤aaS directory and the ❤aaS network, so it’s not bound to any individual account. Future projects can be forked to this account to continue all living in the same place. The Github account is owned by the community and the community members are responsible for the account and its content, it’s a starting point and it’s a subject to change over time.
We can also consider having a community account on some community platform, later. We strive to have a single place for the community to gather everyone in the same place if there’s a need for it in the future.
