Hello,
I have a nice task for someone who wants to get started with some easy admin tasks ;-)
I spent some time to check if / how many of the feeds on planet.opensuse.org are broken - after two obvious fixes (see pull request 48), I noticed 36 broken feeds.
You can find my test script and the list of currently broken feeds attached to https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/16070
The next steps are - re-check the broken feeds in a few days to filter out temporary outages (this can be done using my script) - have a quick look at the domain of each feed to see if there's an obvious, easy fix (for example, does the RSS feed have a new filename?) - otherwise, find out how to contact the affected users [1] and mail/$whatever them, asking if they have a new blog or if we should "just" remove the broken feed - for each result, update the feed list and send a pull request ;-)
The feed list (which also includes IRC nicks etc.) is in "planetsuse/feeds" on https://github.com/opensuse/planet.opensuse.org and everybody who knows how to fork a repo can help ;-)
Help is more than welcome - it will need some time, but besides that, it's quite easy. If someone wants to pick this up, just send a short notice (here or in the ticket) to avoid duplicate work. If you need some help to get started, just ask ;-)
Regards,
Christian Boltz
[1] connect.opensuse.org and "osc whois" might be useful tools. For people who have an IRC nick listed, pinging them on IRC might also work.
This gave me the idea of using CI tests at the planet repo, see
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/17802
And yet another long term idea would be to fully generate the planet configs
from the opensuse profile eg on connect.o.o
