Planet Eclipse is a window into the world, work and lives of Eclipse hackers and contributors.

Guidelines

There is no official policy, however, we (the admins) generally ask ourselves the following questions before adding a feed to Planet Eclipse.

• Is the feed written by a real person?
• Is the person an Eclipse committer, hacker or contributor?
• Is the ratio of off-topic postings not too high?
• Are the off-topic postings covered by the Planet Eclipse tag line?
• Does the feed promote a company or a commercial product?
• Does the feed add more value to Planet Eclipse and the Eclipse community than it does for the feed owner?
• Is there more than just a welcome posting?
• Does the feed contain advertisements?

How to add your blog

1. By opening a GitHub issue
2. By creating a pull request

The issue or pull request must include a picture (185x185), the RSS feed url for the blog and the full name of the author.

If the contributor chose to submit a pull request, this information must be added to planet/planet.ini file as follows:

[https://blogs.eclipse.org/blog/180/feed]
name = Tanja Obradovic
picture = tanja-obradovic.jpg

Pictures must be added to the planet/theme/authors folder.

❗ TIP: If your blog contains other topics than Eclipse, use categories to filter the feed, e.g. <your blog>/category/eclipse/feed/.

planeteclipse.org's Issues

Remove Dockerfile

I created a temporary Dockerfile (https://github.com/EclipseFdn/planeteclipse.org/blob/master/Dockerfile) to run this website on a laptop.

It would be preferable to use https://github.com/EclipseFdn/dockerfiles/tree/master/planet-venus since it's exactly what we will be using on production.

Remove viatra.net blog from Planet Eclipse

In https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=401020 we have asked to include our VIATRA (and then EMF-IncQuery) related blog to planet eclipse, but after a few years of not writing new posts, we are going to retire the blog in its current form, and we won't have an RSS feed available anymore. Because of this, we would like to request the removal of our feed from the aggregation. Thank you.

Readme points to Gerrit

Looks to me that you are using Github and not Gerrit. But the Readme still points to Gerrit:

@chrisguindon
The ecdtools website will be updated when this feed is updated https://planeteclipse.org/planet/ecdtools.xml
It's seems to be "broken". The timestamp of the last update is 2022-02-09T15:19:49Z
I am triggering a manual rebuild of the site. Can you open an issue against the planeteclipse project? I feel like we will need to investigate why this is not updating automatically.

[Brian King]
Sure, will do

[chrisguindon]
Actually, 2022-02-09T15:19:49Z is today. The file is being updated but your posts are not getting included for some reasons.

Unable to fetch feeds from ecdtools.eclipse.org

Matt,

similar to what we need for the newsroom website, we need to add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header for the following urls:

https://planeteclipse.org/planet/ecdtools.xml
https://planeteclipse.org/planet/atom.xml
https://planeteclipse.org/planet/rss20.xml
https://planeteclipse.org/planet/rss10.xml
https://planeteclipse.org/planet/opml.xml
https://planeteclipse.org/planet/foafroll.xml

Archive PlanetEclipse Bugzilla component

We've migrated Planeteclipse.org to GitHub and we are now leveraging it's issue queue to manage issues and request.

I would like to archive the PlanetEclipse Bugzilla component: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?component=PlanetEclipse.org&list_id=18902234&product=Community&resolution=---

I was able to close a few bugs and move the remaining ones to Github:
https://github.com/EclipseFdn/planeteclipse.org/issues

At this time, the Eclipse Bugzilla component for Planet Eclipse should be empty. The website, readme and wiki was updated to link to the Github issue.

Planet only keeps 2 articles per feed

Due to the new_feed_option set to "2", the planet only keeps 2 articles from the same feed while it keeps articles from other feeds for over a year. While this was probably introduced for some spam protection, I do not see a good reason to keep this number so low. I therefore suggest to raise this limit, e.g. to 8 and I will create a PR.

• Merge latest blog/feed updates (eg., https://git.eclipse.org/r/140369)
• Update wiki page
• Ensure all committers have commit rights

Host planeteclipse.org on Eclipse OpenShift cluster

I created this fork to allow us to host planeteclipse.org on our Openshift cluster.

This fork is highly inspired by the work that we did for jakartablogs.ee:
https://github.com/jakartaee/jakartablogs.ee

One of the problem that we still need to fix is that planeteclipse.org is hosted in a /planet/ sub-directory:

https://planeteclipse.org/planet/

Update add my blog instructions

The add my blog modal window should be updated since it's currently asking folks to open a bugzilla bugs:

If you would like your blog added to the feed, please have a look at our guidelines and then open a request in the Eclipse Bugzilla with your feed specific information.

It should say:
