GoOSe Project Planet Configuration

Planet Policies

• planet feeds should be directly releated to GoOSe topics (troublesome pkgs, tasks, announcements, etc)
  • this means you need to either only blog about GoOSe releated topics or export a goose category feed which contains only GoOSe releated items
• ANYONE can join the planet if they meet the above requirements.

Adding yourself to the planet

• fork on github
• git clone your fork
• add your hackergotchi:
  • copy a png file to siteroot/images/faces/ which matches your filename above
  • should be 65x85 pixels
  • facing left looks best (towards your blog)

or -

• add your gravatar:
  • visit http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/hash/ and generate your hash
  • replace the 'face =' line with your gravatar hash value in the config/config.ini

• add a stanza like this to the bottom of config/config.ini:

  # goozbach
