Link to Graphics Planet on planet.fedoraproject.org

[Mukund Sivaraman]

Hi all

I am a GIMP developer. I've been running Graphics Planet for the past 4
years or so, which pulls from blogs of various people involved in
graphics in free software.

Can you add a link to it under "OTHER AGGREGATES" on
planet.fedoraproject.org?  The link to the website is
<http://www.graphicsplanet.org/>;.

Hi,

I am not the good one to do this, I just have a question:
Is graphicsplanet aggregating content about Free and Open Source only?
I've seen some posts about Adobe After Effects..

I don't know what our policy is, but their description says:
"Graphics Planet is a window into the world of people involved in free 
software development in the field of computer graphics and publishing." 
I know a lot of people aggregated there and they do FOSS.

And I expect their aggregator to have Adobe references, just as our 
Planet has Ubuntu, Windows and OS X stuff from time to time.

It aggregates from blogs of free software developers (computer
graphics) and artists in this community only.  If you find an exception
to this, let me know and I'll beat whoever is responsible with a stick. 
:)

However, because the content is published on the individuals' blogs and
we just aggregate, they are free to say whatever they want.  The
description of the site is "Graphics Planet is a *window into the
world* of people involved in free software development in the field of
computer graphics and publishing." It is not just about free software
development. :) Many of us know each other personally.

I just checked and you are right about a certain person's feed. I have
no idea how his blog came to be on Graphics Planet, and git blame just
shows the initial import commit.  It seems he's an artist who does
architectural drawings using Blender, among various other things.

However, others also mention Adobe products which is not uncommon when
you're discussing graphics features or comparing software.

I agree, I also think that if we seek under Fedora Planet we would see
some references to other products like Flash or Skype.
To add the Graphics Planet should be a good idea.

@team, is it infra related, to add a new link?

I'm not sure if this has been taken care of but "yes" someone on the infra
team can add a new link the planet's links on the left hand side.

Wow, really sorry I thought that the infrastructure team was called.
I've just created a request on the  Trac instance. It should be done shortly.
