Planet OSGeo
This page discusses the idea of Planet OSGeo based on the initial discussion on the mailing list.
Currently, there are two geospatial planets on the Web:
- Planet Geospatial maintained by James Fee aggregates wide variety of geospatial blogs
- 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.
I'd like to thank Christopher Schmidt and James Fee - pioneers of building geospatial planetariums.
Planet OSGeo Proposal
The Planet OSGeo - a website that aggregates blogs of active Friends of OSGeo and provide a window into the community itself.
Ticket #206 - Planet OSGeo RFC
Planet Configuration
- Maintainers: Mateusz Loskot, ...
- Domain: planet.osgeo.org
- Software: Planet Venus as recommended by Chris and James
- Hardware: not decided
[ User:Tmitchell: I suggest osgeo2 (will need webcom shell access to set up) or on telascience, if broader shell access needed. ]
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, 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
