<body>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
We run a service, <link uri="http://planet.gentoo.org">Planet Gentoo</a>, which

            

            

              
              
aggregates articles written by contributing developers. This is optional, but it

            

            

              
              
is encouraged that you participate. It helps communication between developers and

            

            

              
              
users find it to be an interesting read too.

            

            

              
              
</p>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
In order to post content to the planet, you need to have your own weblog

            

            

              
              
("blog"). Many sites provide this as a free service, or you can host it

            

            

              
              
yourself (if you have the resources). Alternatively, we can host a blog for

            

            

              
              
you.

            

            

              
              
</p>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
We aim to keep Planet Gentoo's content relevant to Gentoo and/or Gentoo-related

            

            

              
              
developments and events.

            

            

              
              
</p>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
If we host your blog for you, you are expected to keep the content on-topic

            

            

              
              
(Gentoo and Gentoo-related articles). You also need to understand that if you

            

            

              
              
ever lose or drop your developer status, you will no longer be able to write

            

            

              
              
articles on your blog.

            

            

              
              
</p>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
If you have a blog elsewhere, then it needs to be able to provide an XML

            

            

              
              
content feed. If you blog into categories, we need to be able to get an XML

            

            

              
              
feed which covers your "Gentoo" category but no others. This is probably a

            

            

              
              
non-issue, as almost all blogs provide standardised feeds like this.

            

            

              
              
</p>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
Although this is somewhat common sense, please be careful with what you write

            

            

              
              
about. Your views may be inappropriately interpreted as the views of Gentoo.

            

            

              
              
Please be careful not to damage our image.

            

            

              
              
</p>

            

            

              
              

            

            

              
              
<p>

            

            

              
              
If you are interested in contributing to Planet Gentoo, please write to

            

            

              
              
<uri link="mailto:user-relations@gentoo.org">user-relations@gentoo.org</uri>,

            

            

              
              
either requesting a weblog to be hosted by Gentoo, or giving details of your

            

            

              
              
already existing weblog. We'll then work out the details and get you up and

            

            

              
              
running.
