Description (last modified by DrewAPicture)

I've noticed that when sharing blog posts from wp.org/news/, Facebook finds the ​blank.jpg image and pairs that with the post, which isn't great. Can we instead link to an image of the WordPress.org logo?

Okay, as per the arguments put forth in #415, I changed the default og:image to a very large logo.

I'm concerned, however, that it looks bloody stupid as a result.

According to Facebook, we need an image that is 1200x630. Anybody feel like making an appropriate one for us?

I like it. We'll go with the third option for now, and leave the other two available for changing it up if desired.

In 10462:

Open-source the Jetpack mu-plugin we use to tweak the default og:image and Twitter site names.
