planet larry news: tell a friend, i18n, locations, avatars
I’ve setup a category in my blog to be pulled to Planet Larry to let users know what’s going on with the development side.
Right now, things are going well, though we still need to add a lot more users. I know there’s more bloggers out there — don’t be shy. Get yourself added.
One thing we’re already getting is submissions for blogs in languages other than English. Right now they are being pulled to the front page, but pretty soon here we’re going to set one up for each langauge.
Something else I’d like to add right away is display where all the users are from. Not specifically of course, but it would be cool to know what country you are in. So, e-mail me your country of residence and your province / state as well if you like, and soon I’ll have that be displaying on the front page.
One last thing — if you want a hackergotchi or avatar, go ahead and send them in. Transparent pngs are preferred if you’re going to make a little bobble head of yourself. And it doesn’t have to be a snapshot of your head. Your favorite Tux icon or cartoon character would work, too.
Finally — tell your friends. Send us their blog address and we’ll add them. Get the word out.
Thanks, guys. Feel free to ping me on IRC (Freenode, user beandog) or e-mail (beandog at gentoo dot org) if you need anything or have suggestions.
