Currently, there are two geospatial planets on the Web: * [http://planetgs.com/ Planet Geospatial] maintained by James Fee aggregates wide variety of geospatial blogs * [http://planetosgeo.crschmidt.net/ Planet OSGEO] maintained by Chris Schmidt - syndicates OSGeo-oriented blogs This submission proposes to base on these concepts and move Christopher's planet under the umbrella of OSGeo. Copy of this document is available at the OSGeo Wiki: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/PlanetOSGeo = Planet OSGeo = The Planet OSGeo - a website that aggregates blogs of active ''Friends of OSGeo'' and provide a window into the community itself. == Configuration == * Maintainers: Mateusz Loskot, ... * Domain: planet.osgeo.org * Software: [http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/ Planet Venus] as recommended by [http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/204/fed-up-with-planetgs/ Chris] and [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-February/003146.html James] * Hardware: ''waiting for approval'' * Documentation: http://wiki.osgeo.org/Planet == Planet Citizens == * Planet is for any active and involved participant in the OSGeo Community.. * There are many ways of participating in the OSGeo, so all of types of involvement are considered for the purposes of inclusion in Planet OSGeo: our projects users and developers, speakers and advocates, translators, managers and presidents of OSGeo friendship companies and sponsors, etc. * In order to help building the OSGeo brand and credibility, it's recommended the Planet is not formed by anonymous individuals but its members use real names. Also, [http://planet.gnome.org/heads/ heads] are highly recommended. == Planet Content == * Planet OSGeo aims to aggregate the blogs of people who are active on OSGeo and not only to aggregate the blog posts about OSGeo. * The Planet shall not do any content filter, however subscribed feeds ought to be at least occasionally relevant to OSGeo. * All opinions expressed in syndicated blogs are of the original authors and should not be considered as official opinion of the OSGeo Foundation body. * Planet users are free to submit ""on-topic"" posts by pointing specific categories/tags in their feeds. But other posts are also welcome. * It's a good idea to stay away from advertising content (or content that might be confused as such) and from excessively personal information * Please, don't annoy people == Feed Submission == * Feeds should include content in English only * Feeds should provide stable permanent URL * Broken feeds will be excluded from the Planet == References == The Planet OSGeo summary is based on definitions and rules described at following pages: * [http://wiki.debian.org/PlanetDebian Planet Debian Wiki] * [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntu Planet Ubuntu Wiki] * [http://planet.mozilla.org/ Planet Mozilla] ",task,closed,normal,,WebSite,fixed,planet blogs community,
