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