A: Community Promotion Ads - 2016

and Here:

This ad is live now, your vote was the last one needed.

Huh?

Oh

That's

Awesome! :)

I got a hat for up voting those^

@BenceKaulics yeah we did it. I guess EE is one of the most important communities for our site

Hooray Virtual Hugs Everyone! :)

8:41 AM

I have received Necromancer badges as well on Super User and EE.SE meta.

8:51 AM

Ad on EE.SE can be tracked here:

meta.electronics.stackexchange.com/ads/display/5576

Clicks per day: 0 (0 total)

hmm

It does not pop up for me.

Maybe there is a transition time.

Most ads poped up for 3-4 times while I continuously refreshed the site.

9:08 AM

yes, it will take it some time

but it is a good thing to start with

Morning guys

Hi,

There are some Area 52 Sites in commitment stage that have Ad on EE.SE.

How can that be if it was not proposed on Meta?

Some proposal gain SE wide advertisement somehow?

@BenceKaulics Not that I know of

9:24 AM

And how can I enable Ads on PC, currently they only show up if I open the site on phone.

idk

@BenceKaulics running any adblockers?

Fixed.

Yes I forgot my adblocker. :D

.. I dare say that many of those experts we hope to address on EE might fall for the same issue, darn

Yes.

12:20 PM

101 questions, we passed 100. Yay!

one-oh-one! one-oh-one!

Yay.

What do you guys think about one question on the site to gather important links around IoT?

It would be a canonical post which could act as dupe target for all sorts of resource requests

user223506

Make it a community post thingy

You mean meta kind of post to redirect users to refer

Q: What good reference works on English are available?

75

Questions that can be answered using commonly-available references are off-topic. What good reference works on English are available online, and what kinds of questions are they good at answering? Corpora Dictionaries General Reference Grammar Style Thesauri Translation

Like this, just for IoT

12:29 PM

community wiki

at least the answer should be community wiki

but I am somwhat reluctant with link lists, are they really a good fit for SE?

user223506

they can work (as a cw) as a target for resource requests (close as duplicate)

Yeah, that's the idea. In general I don't like lists either

user223506

annotated list

@Helmar Can you show an example link that could be listed?

12:34 PM

Maybe one answer could be about standardization bodies

iot.ieee.org

omg.org/hot-topics/iot-standards.htm

I'm just throwing the idea out there, admittedly it's not fully fledged yet, but the post on ELU was back up and I remember using it quite a bit

The idea is good. But content should be determined with care.

I agree, maybe establish it with a parallel meta post

What categories do you have in mind?

Specifications could be listed as well, like MQTT, CoAP and other relevant ones. Reading a spec can answer a lot of question, and it is always good to read it before asking.

Standardization Bodies & IoT Protocols for starters

Not so sure about Popular IoT Systems, that could be a bit advertisy

Product guides and documentation seems to much to keep it up to date

@BenceKaulics Specifications would be good, yeah

@Helmar yeah, certainly too short lived

Q: Discussion about the IoT reference question

1:41 PM

0

After a brief discussion in chat I have posted a start for a collection of relevant IoT resources on the main page. It is inspired by reference gathering posts around SE like this one on ELU. I have created it on the main site however, since meta posts cannot be used as dupe target for reference ...

discussion site-scope

I created a basis and a meta discussion about it

Physical Communication layers and spec can be another category? Bluetooth, Z-Wave, 433 MHz, WiFi, ZigBee, wired communications. These are different from MQTT, CoAP and such things but also relevant.

Or I should propose on meta maybe.

1:59 PM

boy, the bot is just too slow for us

2

Maybe it's running for hats and forgot to do its job

probably that

going to be a big problem for the whole site, people chasing hats on the other branches

yep!

I even saw a Winter Bash ad instead of IoT SE ad on EE.SE. :(

The cross-site hats are certainly a double-edged sword.

2:28 PM

I am considering to edit the IoT tag on SO to include a link to the area51 entry point for IoT.SE

Or I could ask about that on their meta

Probably better than 101 reputation editing in their taxonomy

Meta question seems reasonable to me.

I can upvote that, but cannot review tag edits on SO.

Why can't you see tags?

I mean, I do not have enough rep to approve a tag edit.

How does this work. This ad proposal has a score of -1.

But yet ad pops up.

Q: Adding link to IoT.SE private beta in the IoT tag on SO

Oh, my mistake, I read view tags :/

Seems broken @BenceKaulics

StackExchange is launching a new Internet of Things Q&A site via Area 51. I noticed the tag iot on StackOverflow and was wondering if it would be appropriate to add an information to that tag the same way it has been done with the Raspberry Pi tag raspberry-pi. This is the Area 51 site that brin...

discussion tags

Voted.

That Raspberry Pi example is great.

2:44 PM

Yeah, good that I found that :)

The complete post is also sneaky advertisement for the site.

I'll look around other sites if they have IoT tags
