This planet would/will become rather +general, since people won't always be blogging or microblogging about +Mageia. + +For blogs of Mageia developers and people like that +<A HREF="http://planet.mageia.org">http://planet.mageia.org</A> makes perfect sense. The idea was never to +compete against <A HREF="http://planet.mageia.org">http://planet.mageia.org</A> or try to, the idea was to just +provide a different type of planet as well aimed at the Mageia users +community, people who are just users of the distribution specifically, +but contributors could also go on this planet as well. + +At the moment it's just a new idea that is being tested out on +<A HREF="http://mageiapeople.org">http://mageiapeople.org</A> that may become a proper planet for Mageia users +with many blogs, and possibly some microblogging as well in a separate +section for example. + +I also suggested that Josh took his idea to the Mageia discuss mailing +list and the forum. + +Josh wondered before who ran <A HREF="http://planet.mageia.org">http://planet.mageia.org</A> so I checked on +IRC by chatting to Coincoin/Damien that it was indeed him, and got the +email address, and told Josh it in a previous email to this mailing +list, thinking he would email Coincoin/Damien about it. + +Josh typed: +><i> The chances of someone single handedly starting up +</I>><i> "ilovemageia.com/.org/.net" increase as Mageia's brand grows. +</I>><i> Personally I think such fan sites, etc. would be good things to have +</I>><i> happen but that's just my opinion. +</I> +I agree, and I think the more websites there are mentioning Mageia in a +positive way the better for the project. + +I 100% agree that those kind of sites will be rather good to have for +the Mageia project usually. + +I have a prime example for when a unofficial website works very well for +the project as a whole: <A HREF="http://omgubuntu.co.uk">http://omgubuntu.co.uk</A> the most popular news and +such website for the Ubuntu project (or so I believe any way), and by a +long way. It is also an unofficial site, it is not made as part of the +Ubuntu Community or by Canonical. Really it was just started by a guy +who decided to start the site and so on from there. However since it's +been so popular for years, official Ubuntu Community Members have +sometimes guest posted on it, such as Jono Bacon the community manager +who is also a Canonical employee and Jorge Castro from his community +team at Canonical, and Daniel Holbach who I think may also be from it, +and that is a Ubuntu Community Member. + +Official Ubuntu Community Members as far as I know will still post on +<A HREF="http://omgubuntu.co.uk">http://omgubuntu.co.uk</A> sometimes as well. + +They have also had people such as Seif Lofty the Zeitgeist developer +blogging on it for example. I think he is a Ubuntu Community Member as +well, but not sure. + +So yes the website is unofficial, but it works very much so for +Canonical's advantage, and the Ubuntu Community as a whole, however +let's be clear about that again it's not an official Canonical or Ubuntu +Community website. The official Ubuntu blogs or kind of thing, would be +the ones from Ubuntu Community Members shown in their planet: +<A HREF="http://planet.ubuntu.com">http://planet.ubuntu.com</A> + +Do Ubuntu have a planet for users of the distro? Well no not that I know +of, but they don't really need to either, because there are loads of +blogs out there that tend to mention it, and the most popular ones are +already known about by many people. + +Josh's idea of having a separate planet for just users +<A HREF="http://mageiapeople.org">http://mageiapeople.org</A> whilst still also having the more official +planet <A HREF="http://planet.mageia.org">http://planet.mageia.org</A> as well, I think as a community building +minded person is an absolutely great idea. + +Yes ok so if it's on <A HREF="http://mageiapeople.org">http://mageiapeople.org</A> it won't be seen as being +that official probably, but that's good for such a planet with loads of +blogs that will be mentioning quite a lot of other stuff at times as +well, not just Mageia. + +The blogs that are mentioned on <A HREF="http://planet.mageia.org">http://planet.mageia.org</A> should be +mainly mentioning Mageia, but for Josh's <A HREF="http://mageiapeople.org">http://mageiapeople.org</A> idea +things will be much more general. + +As members of the marketing team it is our responsibility to help gain +interest in the Mageia project, and yes to some extent Josh's +<A HREF="http://mageiapeople.org">http://mageiapeople.org</A> idea will help to do this. + + From Sebastian sebsebseb +</PRE> + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000708.html">[Mageia-marketing] mageiapeople.org +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000718.html">[Mageia-marketing] mageiapeople.org +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#713">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#713">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#713">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#713">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
