[gentoo-dev] Announcing Gentoo Universe

[gentoo-dev] Announcing Gentoo Universe

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

It's been running for about a week already but its about time it was properly
announced :)

It seems that we have a fairly even split of opinions on whether Planet Gentoo
should be strictly for Gentoo and related topics, or whether it should be a
full aggregation of more personal articles plus Gentoo articles too.

As a result of this, we’ve decided to launch a second site, Gentoo Universe,
which will aggregate all articles (any topic) on participating developers
weblogs. This will run alongside Planet Gentoo, which will still remain an
aggregation for Gentoo and related articles and will continue as normal.

New contributors will be added to both sites. All existing contributors feeds
have been copied over. If you are an existing contributor and you'd like to
truly become part of the universe by having your feed 'de-restricted' on the
universe site, please send me an email or catch me on IRC. The only
restriction is that all articles should be written in English.

If you host your weblog at http://planet.gentoo.org/developers and would like
to also participate in the universe site, let me know, and I will give you the
ability to add more categories to your blog. (You still need to keep Gentoo
stuff categorised separately so that the original Planet can keep running as
normal)

Gentoo Universe can be found at http://planet.gentoo.org/universe/

Currently, there isn't a great amount of difference between the two sites.
This will change as more people give me their entire feed URL's.

Thanks,
Daniel

How does one get signed up to host a weblog there?

Now we can start the argument about which one should be at the default
page, right? =D

Thanks,

This sounds great.  And yes, I'd like to participate.  I have but one
question though...

My question is this:  Which web-blog script would you recommend for the
p.g.o site?

Here, I have a server, sitting on the web 24/7[1], which has Apache,
PHP, Perl, MySQL, Tomcat, all up and running, and I can easily install
just about anything I wish.  So installing stuff on my host isn't a
problem.  However, I've never gone to the trouble of setting up a
web-blog before...

If there's one that works particularly well with p.g.o, that would be ideal.

Regards,

Dunno that one works better than the other wrt the planet.  I'd say you want
one that at least has support for categories or else you'll have to do weird
stuff like spyderous does with the blog title.

I'm a CLI kind of guy so I prefer nanoblogger[1] which is a command-line
blogger written in bash.

As web-apps security liason, I would recommend you research the security record
for whatever you choose.  There's a few blogging apps we get security bugs for
all the time (wordpress comes to mind).

I use wordpress for my own weblog, and I like it. Not overly complicated and
does the job well for a single-user weblog.

Should have included that in the original mail.

If you want to participate on the planet/universe then you need to email me
with either the URL of your existing blog or a request for gentoo to host one
for you. If you are requesting one, please choose a tagline and description
for your weblog (both are optional).

Probably worth mentioning again that this is for developers only.
