I like the idea Mateusz.
I think I'd probably have to remove my blog from the list though, as
I sometimes blog about proprietary software as well :) How does this
work for the other planets; do they allow wishy-washy open source
proponents like me?
From Wikipedia:
"planet sites are used by online communities to aggregate community
blogs in a centralized location."
So, it's just an aggregator of blogs of a community members.
The OSGeo Community is pretty open and there is no formal membership -
everybody invloved in FOSS4G initiavites is allowed to call herself an
OSGeo member. So, in the OSGeo Planet idea, everybody involved in FOSS4G
is welcome to add her blog to the Planet, without any artificial
requirements ("post about FOSS4G or do not post at all").
However, I'd limit the OSGeo Planet to people who are involved in OSGeo
activities in some way (users, speakers, developers, translators,
any other contributors). Just to keep some orientation to the OSGeo world.
And, I think there should be nothing wrong you will see a post that
someone's dog has a runny nose :)
Cheers
