If you are a KDE contributor you can have your blog on Planet KDE. Blog content should be mostly KDE themed, English language and not liable to offend. If you have a general blog you may want to set up a tag and subscribe the feed for that tag only to Planet KDE.
We also include feeds in different categories, currently Dot News, Project News feeds, User Blogs, French Language, Spanish Language, Polish Language and Portuguese Language KDE blogs. If you have a feed which falls into these categories (or another non-English language) please file a bug as below.
Planet KDE is kept in KDE's Git. If you have an account you can add or edit your own feed:
feed 45m http://path.to/my/feed.rss
define_name Konqi Konqueror (konqi)
define_face hackergotchi/konqi.png
define_facewidth 80
define_faceheight 80
If you do not have a Git account, file a bug in Bugzilla listing your name, Git account (if you have one), IRC nick (if you have one), RSS or Atom feed and what you do in KDE. Attach a photo of your face for hackergotchi.
The default class for blogs is English language personal blogs. Other classes are:
define_feedclass spanish
define_feedclass portuguese
define_feedclass chinese
define_feedclass polish
define_feedclass italian
define_feedclass french
define_feedclass user
define_feedclass news
define_feedclass dot
Planet KDE is one of the public faces of the KDE project and is read by millions of users and potential contributors. The content aggregated at Planet KDE is the opinions of its authors, but the sum of that content gives an impression of the project. Please keep in mind the following guidelines for your blog content and read the KDE Code of Conduct. The KDE project reserves the right to remove an inappropriate blog from the Planet. If that happens multiple times, the Community Working Group can be asked to consider what needs to happen to get your blog aggregated again.
If you are unsure or have queries about what is appropriate contact the KDE Community Working Group.
The majority of content in your blog should be about KDE and your work on KDE. Blog posts about personal subjects are also encouraged since Planet KDE is a chance to learn more about the developers behind KDE. However blog feeds should not be entirely personal, if in doubt set up a tag for Planet KDE and subscribe the feed from that tag so you can control what gets posted.
Posts can be positive and promote KDE, they can be constructive and lay out issues which need to be addressed, but blog feeds should not contain useless, destructive and negative material. Constructive criticism is welcome and the occasional rant is understandable, but a feed where every post is critical and negative is unsuitable. This helps to keep KDE overall a happy project.
Only have your blog on Planet KDE if you actively contribute to KDE, for example through code, user support, documentation etc.
Planet KDE is a collection of blogs from KDE contributors.
KDE covers a wide variety of people and cultures. Profanities, prejudice, lewd comments and content likely to offend are to be avoided. Do not make personal attacks or attacks against other projects on your blog.
For further guidance on good practice see the KDE Code of Conduct.
