Add RSS auto-posting to social media

[bnvk]

Moved from opensourcedesign/jobs#90 by @simonv3

There should be a method via IFTTT using an "RSS to Twitter recipe"
We should automate this to do multiple RSS feeds:

• https://opensourcedesign.net/articles/feed.xml
• https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/feed.xml
• https://opensourcedesign.net/events/feed.xml
• https://opensourcedesign.net/resources/feed.xml

Additionally, we should add all of these RSS feeds in the <meta> tags of the global site templates so as to be semantic and robust.

@jancborchardt do you know who has access to the IFTTT account?

[jancborchardt]

We have an IFTTT account? I’m not aware of it. ;) If anyone has an IFTTT account we could use it for that also?

Or does anyone know a tool for it? cc @elioqoshi @simonv3 @simison @evalica @belenbarrospena?

[simonv3]

Well, opensourcedesign is taken, so I assumed we had an account.

Can we trigger a forgot-password? Not much hope, but maybe the person is still around.

[jancborchardt]

@simonv3 @jdittrich any of you is welcome to either contact IFTTT regarding ownership of the »opensourcedesign« account. :) If they don’t reply or it’s taken by someone who doesn’t want to give it away, we could just open »opensrcdesign«.

@GarthDB @jongold do any of you maybe own this IFTTT account? :)

[jemgold]

@jancborchardt I don't own it :(

@jancborchardt RSS → Social media, this one is big+free (free as in free price): https://dlvrit.com/pricing

@simison thanks for that suggestion. I've created an account and linked things up. Seems like the perfect service ;) However, the Jobs RSS feed is broken and only showing super old postings. So only the Articles and Events feeds are enabled right now. I will look into this when we do our job board hacking this weekend!

https://opensourcedesign.net/articles/feed.xml
https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/feed.xml
https://opensourcedesign.net/events/feed.xml
https://opensourcedesign.net/resources/feed.xml

Would it be easy to make combined /all/feed.xml?

[bnvk]

No it would not be easy (given current site structure) to:

Would it be easy to make `/all/feed.xml`?

Additionally, I think we get more granular control (for things like this case) with separate feeds!

I'm not sure what needs to happen on this issue anymore but also, we should make sure that people that post jobs via our form agree to have them tweeted from our twitter account. Just in case of privacy needs.
