||<>|| * '''Created''': 2014-06-26 -- -- [[LaunchpadHome:dholbach]] <> * '''Contributors''': `dholbach` * '''Packages affected''': None == Summary == We would like to give teams the opportunity to give their events, stories and news more exposure. [[http://planet.ubuntu.com|Planet Ubuntu]] is a good place for this. It'll get more eyeballs on global activities and inspire others. == Rationale == Some teams don't have a blog registered on Planet Ubuntu, because some of their active team members aren't Ubuntu members yet or because they don't know how, etc. == Implementation == Currently the * homepage feed on [[http://loco.ubuntu.com/|LTP]] uses only hand-picked blogs, so we can export that to planet ubuntu and that should be enough oversight to keep inappropriate things out. * team admins can manage their team's aggregation, but the homepage uses a separate selection. * teams can add any feed they want to their team, but then the LoCo Council can tag a feed to appear on the homepage as well * no teams can't add their RSS feeds rightnow, only LC can Plan: * No blogging is done on the LTP, but elsewhere. * Aggregation happens within the LTP, aggregated LTP feed is then [[PlanetUbuntu#Adding_Your_Feed|added to Planet Ubuntu]]. * In this first iteration, we'd like to do simple aggregation and re-feeding to planet which wouldn't involve copying or editing. * Optional: generate an RSS feed for events and meetings, that would automatically be published to planet. * Feed shows any events or meetings that have already happened or are happening soon === UI Changes === Additional fields for feed(s) per team need to be added. === Code Changes === The items above should be filed as [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/loco-team-portal|bugs on LTP]]. We will then schedule some hack days to work on this. == Test/Demo Plan == * Do at least a month of testing before adding it to Planet Ubuntu. We want to see how much traffic this is going to generate. == Unresolved issues == * Can we ensure that the Code of Conduct is observed? Are we just going to mention this in the UI somewhere and leave it to the LoCo contacts/admins' discretion? * If we use one feed, will Planet understand that it's content from different authors? == BoF agenda and discussion == [[irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/06/20/%23ubuntu-meeting.html|Meeting log]] Additional ideas: * If content gets too much, maybe we could do a monthly digest. * Split the planet in 2 tabs: Members | Teams. (Official team content vs. content from members of the team.) * Can we enable team owners to moderate the content? * team members could write up something and team contacts/admins could approve this as content which goes out to everyone? Harder to manage, as per-feed is easy, doing it per-post would require more work in LTP, because the aggregator library we're using doesn't give us access to the data easily. * Give the user permissions to add other users based on request. * As part of the copying that takes place as part of aggregation, we could probably add thing like * jump marks (read more →here←) or * digests (weekly LoCo roundup or something) ---- CategorySpec
