**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 19 02:59:56 2022 Feb 20 01:28:32 joerg: Planet Maemo used to be for blogs from Maemo community members. I guess how useful it is now depends on how popular blogging is in the Maemo community these days and how big the developer community is now Feb 20 01:28:50 (discussion continued from #maemo-meeting) Feb 20 01:29:07 neither esists I think Feb 20 01:30:34 maybe anybody in here knows recent details? I never used planet.maemo Feb 20 01:30:36 I've seen one or two blogs on there apart from e.V. posts Feb 20 01:31:10 eV? posts on planet? Feb 20 01:31:15 yeah Feb 20 01:31:26 this was on planet http://maemo.org/community/council/maemo_community_e-v--invitation_to_the_general_assembly_2020/ Feb 20 01:31:35 thats how I knew about the meeting :) Feb 20 01:31:45 looking at my archives for other posts Feb 20 01:31:52 who would have done those, and how. You got a link or whatever is needed to check this? Feb 20 01:33:07 wow Feb 20 01:33:45 I think that's a weird automatism propagating talk.maemo.org posts to that site? Feb 20 01:34:55 as long as the author of the t.m.o post has a "council" or other official "tag" on their identity Feb 20 01:36:28 anyway, you can see here there were a number of legit posts in the last year or more http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/ Feb 20 01:36:51 even one about Maemo 4 and N800 Feb 20 01:38:00 PS: I note that http and https give different content for that page :) Feb 20 01:41:41 it's a completely bitrotten service I think. Indeed there was a "on topic" post by thp 2021-07-01 and even that was aggregated from original site http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2021/07/loonies-8192-now-for-maemo-4-n800-and.html Feb 20 01:42:54 yeah, planets are solely about blog posts aggregated from elsewhere (individual developer blogs usually) Feb 20 01:43:23 how is Maemo doing in general btw, is there much work on the distro itself? Feb 20 01:45:08 there's #maemo-leste which seems pretty active. Other than that there's not really much activity anymore that I'd know of Feb 20 01:46:27 is Maemo Leste considered a fork? I'm wondering why they forked Maemo instead of continuing Maemo Feb 20 01:47:16 that's... difficult story. It's the rewrite rebasing maemo to debian proper auiu Feb 20 01:47:55 I see, I guess it would have been hard to make that a continuation Feb 20 01:48:57 even switched from armel to aehh big-endian? somesuch, thus dropping compatibility for old binaries completely Feb 20 01:49:00 iirc Feb 20 01:49:41 this all is _years_ old stuff I forgot any details Feb 20 01:50:51 ok Feb 20 02:48:33 thank you a ton for your support, pabs3 Feb 20 02:48:56 no probs, thanks for all the info Feb 20 02:49:25 btw, NOBODY NOTICED garage been down for ~58d **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Feb 20 02:59:56 2022
