@angrezichatterbox, bringing this to your attention in case you have ideas! We do similar issues for Scribe-iOS and Scribe-Data :)

I don't have any specific idea for now but if any come up I'll share it here. 😄

The best way to promote it is to show how it can be useful :)
F-Droid (a non-profit volunteer project) is one of best platform for Android FOSS apps.
If you've any queries feel free to ask in their forum or matrix room :)

Hey @shuvashish76 👋 Thanks for reaching out here as well! As said in Matrix, we'll 100% be on F-Droid, and we'll also be in Havktoberfest too! Scribe has been a Hacktoberfest participant for years now 🎃 This will be Scribe-Android's first though. @angrezichatterbox: let's be sure to have as many good first issues up for the start of Hacktoberfest as we can. Maybe we can do a call and map out issues to be made :)

Yes, we can map out issues. There are some style issues in the app now which I think would be a good addition to good first issues.

I think that we're ready to add Scribe-Android to firstcontributions.github.io, @angrezichatterbox :) Do you want me to send along the PR for it? It would be like these that I opened for Scribe-iOS.

Yes, it makes sense that 'First Contributions' is perfect for finding repositories to contribute to. We could also add the repository to this site: Good First Issue right.

Have we ever thought of having a LinkedIn Profile for Scribe @andrewtavis. Some open source orgs have it and it could open us to a lot of new developers.

CC @mhmohona who has brought up the same. As you all might have noticed, I'm not a LinkedIn user, but I'm happy to set something up if need be. It might make sense that @mhmohona makes it and makes @angrezichatterbox an owner as well (not sure how it works over there)? I'm fine with all org members having whatever level of admin rights and we can make sure there are enough owners that we have solid coverage?

I recently began using LinkedIn and noticed that several organizations have LinkedIn pages where they showcase their projects and accomplishments.

Hello @andrewtavis @angrezichatterbox, so how about having a LinkedIn page?
I havent done it before, so not sure about the requirement, shall I open the page in a call with both of you? Or it can be done in next dev sync?
Will it be a waste of time doing it in dev sync?

Hello @andrewtavis @angrezichatterbox, so how about having a LinkedIn page?
I agree with the idea about having a LinkedIn page.

I am totally fine with having a call for it to be done or discussing it in the next sync
