Planet GentooFor a long time, users have been asking for a better way to find out about what developers are working on within Gentoo, and developers have been wanting a way to communicate with the user and developer communities. Planet Gentoo aims to provide a partial solution to both of these, by aggregating developers' weblogs in one place. This aggregation is currently available in two forms. Planet Gentoo shows only posts marked as 'on-topic', and related to Gentoo development. Gentoo Universe shows all posts to that developer's blog, for those who are interested in more than strictly Gentoo-related news.
All developers can be reached by e-mail using nickname@gentoo.org. Resources offered by the planet project are: Using b2evolution, Planet Gentoo hosts blogs for any Gentoo developers who are in need of a home. Contact one of the Planet Gentoo admins to setup an account. Planet Gentoo and Gentoo Universe can display an icon or headshot of the developer on the website, and submissions are encouraged. We enjoy being able to put a name to the face of our bloggers. See the Wikipedia entry for more information and links on how to create your own. Send your image in an e-mail to one of the Planet Gentoo admins when finished. If you are not interested in making one yourself, you can write an entry in your blog including a photo and request that someone make one for you. Gentoo is hosting a planet feed especially for developers working on projects hired by Google's Summer of Code. The planet feed can be found at http://planet.gentoo.org/soc |
