I've offered myself as a (co)maintainer of planet.osgeo.org and Tyler
has given me permissions to the server (!!).
So I've reviewed the venus config and have some questions to the committee:
- - Is there somewhere a contact list for the blogs aggregated?
- - I've run the script and some blogs are not working so I've commented
their entries at the config. Is there any protocol about this, this is
related with previous question (I could ask for the guys that run their
non-working blogs).
- - How is the planet updated? I haven't seen anything at crontab
- - If I receive a request to add a blog to the planet, should I ask
somewhere or I have to decide by myself if the blog is OK for the planet
or not?
- - At this time the planet is looking weird because of a post with
invalid markup. So, witch is the procedure with a non-valid entry? (I
think the current "weirdness" is because of the GRASS announcement)

Nothing so far, good idea though.

That is a good process too. Sometimes blog feeds are just temporarily down, so I've left them in the configuration, but it is fine to remove them now I think.

Out of my realm But does run once per hour somehow.

It's up to you and others on the planet management team (SAC isn't normally involved unless it's a more system related issue). As long as they are friendly to OSGeo, post on open source stuff, I'm not too discriminating. We have a few more details on a wiki page somewhere too.

I've worked with a few folks who use certain blog platforms (wordpress?) that cause issues like this. It's best to follow up with the blogger to see if they have alternate feed urls to use instead.

That's me - I would appreciate to not be kicked out from the planet.
Here it looks pretty normal to me: http://gfoss.blogspot.com/
We can solve that offlist to not spam everybody here.

OK I found some dirty HTML tags in the code and polished them.
I have deleted the old entry from cache, now it looks better, I hope.

Anyway I'll never ban any blog without asking first to the blogger
(that's why I asked for a contact list) and as in your case, helping on
anything I can.

well not really, you bolded all the content... maybe you need to add a
*it* bolded, not me ...
title to your post? I can't see it at your site, that's strange.
indeed.
BTW, your entry has almost 200 html errors and 205 warnings
Cool, thanks blogspot.
I have now thrown the entry away and redone it from ASCII, now the
bold rubbish should be gone.

Do you have any place to store this with some privacy? adding a
comment with contact data on any blog entry on the ini file would be
OK? I don't want to go after you for an email address if I can

I will contact with them when I know who they are (geobi has changed
their website, i.e.)

I'll update the planet page with more specific rules following that
"not too discriminating" idea. Anyway I don't want to have at Planet
OSGeo the typical news feed instead real blogs or at least a minimal
personal comment on a news report (like slash geo).
Anyway if have any doubt were we should ask? at the web committee? the
board? you?

Good idea to put it in the comments.

Sounds fine to me. The original planet site maintainers made all the decisions, anyone else is welcome to speak up, but I suggest just emailing questions/ideas to the planet@osgeo.org alias. It's only be a couple of us, with me as a backup, for a while now. It can be whatever you and the group want it to be.

OK I'll put the e-mails I know on top of the feeds and I'll ask the
alias for anything else.

OK again, I'll ask the alias and if we go in trouble will up the
question to the web committee.

Yes, thanks Markus.
I contacted the blogger a couple of days ago to try to amend this I'm
right now on it.
But does run once per hour somehow.
