Create an official Jupyter Mastodon account

[choldgraf]

Many open source communities and projects are migrating to Mastodon right now. As part of that process, several organizations are defining "official" accounts in a Mastodon server, so that others know where is the source of truth for communications from that organization.

Several examples of "official" accounts in Mastodon are provided by @krassowski here:

Given the high-visibility nature of Jupyter, I think it's important that we provide this source of truth in Mastodon to avoid confusion about where our communications are coming from.

However, there's an open question about which Mastodon server Jupyter should use, there's been some discussion of this in the discourse thread:

• https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/official-mastodon-account-s/16688

Given that we don't yet know if there will be an "official" Python projects server, and given that it is relatively easy to transition to new servers if you wish, I propose we take the following path:

Proposal

• Wait for three weeks to see if an "official" Python or Scientific Python server arises that we can use.
• If it does, then create a projectjupyter@<this-new-server.org> account
• If not, then create an official Jupyter social media account on fosstodon.org (this is the server many other major projects have used)
• Document it as our official Jupyter account, and add a rel="me" link to our home page to this account.
