## Social media ##
|

|
|

The Qubes OS Project has a presence on several social media platforms, including:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Twitter](https://twitter.com/QubesOS)
|
||||||
|
* [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Qubes/)
|
||||||
|
* [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/QubesOS/)
|
||||||
|
* [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/qubes-os/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Generally speaking, these are not intended to be primary support venues.
|
||||||
|
(Those would be [qubes-users](#qubes-users) and the [forum](#forum).)
|
||||||
|
Rather, these are primarily intended to be a way to more widely disseminate items published on the [news](/news/) page.
|
||||||
|
If you use one of these platforms, you may find it convenient to follow the Qubes OS Project there as a way of receiving Qubes news.

### Security
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Qubes OS Project occasionally issues [Qubes Security Bulletins (QSBs)](/security/bulletins/) as part of the [Qubes Security Pack (qubes-secpack)](/security/pack/).
|
||||||
|
It is important to make sure that you receive all QSBs in a timely manner so that you can take action to keep your system secure.
|
||||||
|
(While [updating](#updating) will handle most security needs, there may be cases in which additional action from you is required.)
|
||||||
|
For this reason, we strongly recommend that every Qubes user subscribe to the [qubes-announce](/support/#qubes-announce) mailing list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition to QSBs, the Qubes OS Project also publishes [Canaries](/security/canaries/) and other items of interest to Qubes users.
|
||||||
|
Since these are not essential for all Qubes users to read, they are not sent to [qubes-announce](/support/#qubes-announce) in order to keep the volume on that list low.
|
||||||
|
If you are interested in these additional items, we encourage you to subscribe to the [Qubes News RSS feed](/feed.xml) or join one of our other [venues](/support/), where these news items are syndicated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For more information about Qubes OS Project security, please see the [security center](/security/).
