[Qgis-psc] News feed

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I would include user survey announcements in this list - it was one of the key reasons we introduced the feed. We want to get to know our user base, what their concerns are and usage habits are. Inviting them to join opt-in surveys and sharing project news through the feed are a good way to achieve that. 


I disagree a bit on 1 and 2 - Ale introduced a geofencing capability for the news feed so for example Australian User Group meeting can be shown to just people in Australia. Posts can also be language specific. I think we should accept any local announcement post after PSC approval and keep the rule as simple as that? 


We had also agreed that we don’t want to include general planet.qgis.org feed in there, but rather use the platform to share what goes into our blog and other moderated content.


PS. Sponsorships are dead, long live sustaining members :-)


Regards

Tim
