| pabs3 | 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 | 02:28 |
|---|---|---|
| pabs3 | (discussion continued from #maemo-meeting) | 02:28 |
| joerg | neither esists I think | 02:29 |
| joerg | maybe anybody in here knows recent details? I never used planet.maemo | 02:30 |
| pabs3 | I've seen one or two blogs on there apart from e.V. posts | 02:30 |
| joerg | eV? posts on planet? | 02:31 |
| pabs3 | yeah | 02:31 |
| pabs3 | this was on planet http://maemo.org/community/council/maemo_community_e-v--invitation_to_the_general_assembly_2020/ | 02:31 |
| pabs3 | thats how I knew about the meeting :) | 02:31 |
| pabs3 | looking at my archives for other posts | 02:31 |
| joerg | who would have done those, and how. You got a link or whatever is needed to check this? | 02:31 |
| joerg | wow | 02:33 |
| joerg | I think that's a weird automatism propagating talk.maemo.org posts to that site? | 02:33 |
| joerg | as long as the author of the t.m.o post has a "council" or other official "tag" on their identity | 02:34 |
| pabs3 | anyway, you can see here there were a number of legit posts in the last year or more http://maemo.org/news/planet-maemo/ | 02:36 |
| pabs3 | even one about Maemo 4 and N800 | 02:36 |
| pabs3 | PS: I note that http and https give different content for that page :) | 02:38 |
| joerg | 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 | 02:41 |
| pabs3 | yeah, planets are solely about blog posts aggregated from elsewhere (individual developer blogs usually) | 02:42 |
| pabs3 | how is Maemo doing in general btw, is there much work on the distro itself? | 02:43 |
| joerg | there's #maemo-leste which seems pretty active. Other than that there's not really much activity anymore that I'd know of | 02:45 |
| pabs3 | is Maemo Leste considered a fork? I'm wondering why they forked Maemo instead of continuing Maemo | 02:46 |
| joerg | that's... difficult story. It's the rewrite rebasing maemo to debian proper auiu | 02:47 |
| pabs3 | I see, I guess it would have been hard to make that a continuation | 02:47 |
| joerg | even switched from armel to aehh big-endian? somesuch, thus dropping compatibility for old binaries completely | 02:48 |
| joerg | iirc | 02:49 |
| joerg | this all is _years_ old stuff I forgot any details | 02:49 |
| pabs3 | ok | 02:50 |
| joerg | thank you a ton for your support, pabs3 | 03:48 |
| pabs3 | no probs, thanks for all the info | 03:48 |
| joerg | btw, NOBODY NOTICED garage been down for ~58d | 03:49 |
| pabs3 | guess it isn't really used much :) | 04:03 |
