For the records: lizards.o.o was a wordpress where we (technically MF- IT) hosted the blogs of several people [1] - and each individual feed (not: "alll of lizards.o.o") was aggregated on planet.o.o. Maybe planet.o.o even missed a few of the lizards.o.o blogs, I never checked that. With several free blog hosting services available (for example *.wordpress.com, github pages, ...) the decision was to ask the people who used lizards.o.o to move to another platform, and to put lizards.o.o into read-only / archive mode. lizards.o.o and news.o.o had as many things in common as someuser.wordpress.com and news.o.o: none. > >>> Are we as a project and marketing ok with people posting info on > >>> news.o.o. as long as it's community related? > >> > >> I always recognized news-o-o as some magazine where anything is > >> possible as long as it's somehow related to openSUSE. That sounds more like how I would describe planet.o.o. (Mostly - on planet.o.o we also get some off-topic posts from community members, and that's fine.) Playing devil's advocate on your "somehow related to openSUSE" definition: I recently asked one of the upstream AppArmor devs to adjust some library paths in the Ubuntu Chromium profile so that they match the openSUSE paths. According to your definition, that's "related to openSUSE", so - should I write an article on news.o.o about it? ;-) (No, I don't plan to write such an article, and even think that this is too minor for my own blog/planet.o.o - but I hope this example helps to understand where I see the problem.) ... > Would it be feasible to do the same setup as > https://github.com/openSUSE/news-o-o and make it a new blog area. > Maybe blog.opensuse.org rather than magazine.opensuse.org. Of course, > we have https://planet.opensuse.org, which just connects blogs. Exactly, we have planet.o.o. And, see above, we decided not to provide a blog platform for individual users anymore because hosting a blog somewhere[tm] is very easy. > > I think there are some people such as myself that may get annoyed if > > news.o.o ends up with too many posts because then the actual news > > gets buried in everything else and the signal to noise ratio of > > things I care about to things I don't gets too low. +1 Also, articles featuring a specific package also feel off-topic for news.o.o [2] - in the recent case, I'd have expected the post in someone's blog and then on planet.o.o. Independent of the question in which repo this package lives. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] For completeness: The YaST team also used lizards.o.o as blog platform (and now blogs on yast.o.o) [2] Of course, there might be exceptions - for example providing a new desktop environment might be important enough for news.o.o. -- I absolutely demand the right to shoot myself in the foot! ;-) [Stefan Seyfried in opensuse-factory] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
