I've always wondered who runs this account. Does anyone know?
It really has some strange posts... This helpful one from yesterday being a great example: https://twitter.com/FHIRnews/status/1309116730288021506

it's a bot.
James Agnew (Sep 25 2020 at 15:18):
I'm hoping you mean a time-travelling robot of some sort.
René Spronk (Sep 25 2020 at 15:19):
it's actually an Australian bot .. but not hosted by Grahame :-)
James Agnew (Sep 25 2020 at 15:22):
Ahhhh so this is a probably just a timezone thing. I had not considered the possibility that it's still 2016 in Australia.
Boy they are in for a rude awakening when they get to 2020.

@Grahame Grieve could you perhaps help the bot to timetravel to present time - or even better - make it go to the future, and then go back to present time and tell us when R5 will actually be published?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2020 at 20:43):
ok. I'm game. First:
- Are there system libraries that do time travel?
- Does github have a futurisitic deployment system that can generate releases in the future?
- oh, it does. That how it works (or not) now.
- Actually, it's Maven that generates releases in the future.
- I think what I really want is a retrospective release where you in the future write a llittle kick bck scheme to let me in the past know now.
- Of all the things we could organise for some future person to tell us, nominating the release date for R5 would definitely be the thing

This is so meta I'm losing what's left of my mind at the end of a WGM
Jens Villadsen (Sep 27 2020 at 11:40):
okay ... so I'm asking @Grahame Grieve -from-the-future what he ended up doing with the bot. Did he end up adjusting the bot or was it just left as-is, tweeting like its 2016?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 27 2020 at 21:37):
Since I have no control over it, and the person who does is no longer involved or even loosely interested in HL7, I assume that it continue tweeting in perpetuity, or until Twitter are legislated into stopping bots
Lin Zhang (Sep 27 2020 at 23:37):
Without national IGs, organizational ones would be pretty hard.
Ewout Kramer (Sep 28 2020 at 11:42):
I guess we should invite Christopher Nolan, looking at Tenet, I think he must have interesting suggestions on how to have a kick back to let us know now what's wrong with a retrospective release then.
The scary thing with future-Git is that you have to accept unbranching and uncommitting. Commits that turn into staged files, and then modifications changing into the previous version.

@Grahame Grieve But do you know who it is? Cause I'd be happy trying to chase him/her to silence or update that bot :smile:

@Ward Weistra ?
Ward Weistra (Mar 09 2021 at 09:17):
@Richard Townley-O'Neill The owner of https://twitter.com/FHIRnews. Grahame passed me the contact details :smile:
