Calling all SuSE community members!
Some of you may be aware of "blog planets" popping up around the place, such as Planet GNOME (http://planet.gnome.org/), Planet Debian (http://people.debian.org/~keybuk/planetdebian/) and KDE's blog aggregate (http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog). Well, I'm looking at putting together a "Planet SuSE" to provide the same service for the SuSE community, and I need your help! Do you work for SuSE, or provide some sort of service (such as APT maintenance, or PackMan) for the SuSE community? Do you blog? (If you don't blog, now's a good time to start) Take a look at http://swamprat.homeunix.org/planet-suse/ - it's quite embryonic at this stage, but once we get a few extra feeds in there, it'll pick up, and don't be put off by the Ximian feeds, they're there to show how it works essentially (and hey, Ximian and SuSE, it's all Novell now, in't it?). If you would like to be added to it, send me the URL of an RSS feed of your blog, off-list. One thing to note is that the RSS must contain a valid pubDate for each item. To see what it looks like, look at the RSS version of my blog, it's linked in the 'Subscriptions' bit of the page. Once it's going, it'll be cross-linked with the various other planets as part of the growing planet community, I've had some feedback from people involved with other planets, and they're excited at the prospect of a SuSE one, so let's make it happen!

Hi James, good idea. Since I have never blogged myself, can you give me an potential other interested people a pointer to a blog how-to and share a bit your experience with it, particularly how much of a time-committment it is? If this is considered OT, please respond privately. Best regards, Alex. On Thu, 8 Jan 2004, James Ogley wrote:

I'd recommend looking at Advogato (http://advogato.org) cos they provide the RSS feed for blogs hosted there. On the Advogato front page, click Account to register. Then once you're registered, you can login and it's really quite simple to post entries. It's as much of a time commitment as you want it to be, I normally blog once a day, and it takes about 5 or 10 minutes. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
