[/me who likes reading Matthew's blog posts about UEFI/Restricted boot] I guess "Fedora" tag was added to this post by mistake, but it doesn't matter that much since... plandet.debian.org is subscribed to all blog posts. We could ask Matthew to add "Linux" tag to blog posts that he considers worth including on Debian planet and subscribe only those. On a more general note: I find it a bit rude to feed planet FOO with content not related to FOO. It's not that bad on planet.debian.org compared to other planets, but it could be better. I'd volunteer to go through all feed URLs and add missing tags/categories but I'm afraid the "I like to read about personal life of people related to FOO" lobby is too loud. If filtering such planets takes too much of my time, I usually simply unsubscribe it. -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
