All Apache committers are allowed to add their own personal blogs -
whether they're related to their Apache project work or not - as feeds
to Planet Apache.
Read: http://planet.apache.org/committers/
Config: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/planet/committers.ini
Do folks here know who runs the existing http://planetopenoffice.org/
aggregation site? It already has quite a number of feeds in it. Domain
is owned by Kahlil Johson, or jzarecta@g... from Mexico.
If the AOO PPMC and larger community want to organize a single site to
aggregate committers and community members' blogs, that would be great.
Personally I like the community aspect of Planet Apache, in that some
committers only blog about technology, but many of them blog about
personal and other issues too.
Hey, the https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/planet/FAQ file has a note:
Q. How can I make category RSS feeds in MovableType?
A. See: http://www.hutteman.com/weblog/2003/03/07-49.html
but you'll need a sufficently new version of MovableType.
If the PPMC gets organized about this, I don't see why we couldn't host
it at planet.oo.o directly. That would likely mean only committers'
blogs content would be added, since it's on an official Apache domain.
Similarly, folks interested in setting up aggregators should take a look
at Venus, which is a great aggregator:

Something to think about without hurry, maybe after 3.4 release: to
create a "planet" to aggregate blogs and other content generated by
commiters and other volunteers.
AOO blog is perfect for news about the project, but IMHO a planet like
sub-site to see on one place what contributors do will give a more
dynamic image to the project.
I must admit I have no idea how such sites are created but almost all
FOSS projects have one.
Also, we need to considering our multilingual user base providing a
way to follow specific languages.
