-
 
+

We are not quite there yet, but we want to have everything ready before the MeeGo 1.2 release.
+
-
 
+
-
== news.meego.com structure ==
+
-
The News section is reachable from several meego.com homepage blocks and the "News" item in the top navigation bar. It is made of different types of content. http://news.meego.com needs to combine them all in an efficient and nice looking way.
+
-

== Media team (PROPOSAL) ==
+
-
The Media team is made of a small group of people responsible of
+
-
 
+
-
* meego.com homepage.
+
-
* News and About sections.
+
-
* [http://twitter.com/meegocom @meegocom] Twitter account
+
-
* Writing press releases and official project news.
+
-
* Media relations.
+
-
* Support to MeeGo releases and events.
+
-
* Collaboration with comms teams of MeeGo stakeholders.
+
-
 
+
-
The proposal is to coordinate the work of this group through a private mailing list. The topics discussed need certain confidentiality before the publication of the news. No big secrets are discussed here. No NDAs must be signed to become a Media team member. Any topics about the Media team itself are discussed in the meego-community mailing list.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Members'''
+
-
 
+
-
* Quim Gil - coordination and MeeGo Community Office representation.
+
-
* Jennifer Cloer - Linux Foundation media relations.
+
-
* Jennifer Lyons - Nokia comms.
+
-
* Suzy Ramirez - Intel comms.
+
-
 
+
-
New members can join the team via invitation, either from the Extended Media team or MeeGo stakeholders with high media activity.
+
-
 
+
-
Media team's access to the MeeGo News system is managed via membership of the [http://news.meego.com/__mfa/asgard_midcom.admin.user/group/edit/1dff932956e229af93211df8c2b63e3ceeafa35fa35/ MeeGo Media Team Midgard group].
+
-
 
+
-
=== Extended Media team (proposal)===
+
-
The Extended Media team is made of regular contributors following the [[Community communication|MeeGo community channels]] and highlighting the remarkable news. In practice, they write blog posts aggregated to news.meego.com and/or microblog from an accounted watched by the @meegocom Twitter account.
+
-
 
+
-
''To be defined'': this has some similarities with http://www.mwkn.net/ - potential collaboration?
+
-
 
+
-
'''Members'''
+
-
Add yourself to the list below indicating your blog or Twitter account, and the MeeGo project channel you are following and reporting about. Make sure your blog is aggregated and/or your Twitter accouint is listed by @meegocom

-
''To be considered'': if your Twitter account is very noisy then your might bring us more work than help.

Background

Everybody likes the principle of news written by the community. It seems that everybody actually likes the http://maemo.org/news system, combining over hundred sources that get promoted or demoted based on user input (thumbs up & down) and karma from several sources e.g. del.icio.us, technorati... read more

But it will take us a while to implement something like that in meego.com. In the meantime we can start aggregating blogs and other MeeGo specific news sources.

How to start

Drupal includes an Aggregation module out of the box: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/aggregator There is an official module that resembles a PlanetPlanet, but do we really need the extra maintenance for that? http://drupal.org/project/udplanet

Social News proof-of-concept

The maemo.org Midgard team has prepared a proof-of-concept deployment of using Maemo's Midgard-based Social News system for MeeGo News.

The deployment consists of:

This system can be evaluated in its current temporary location and deployed on meego.com as desired.

Homepage

Would these news have a presence in the homepage? Under "What's new", negotiating space with the current static promos?

Note: the "What's new" area on the home page will likely be taken over by releases when they exist. Not exactly sure where that puts the What's new or the planet?

Get your blog aggregated

See Web infrastructure/Planet.meego.com/Add your blog

Request the aggregation of your blog DRAFT

If you fulfill your requirements above you can request the aggregation of your blog sending the following information to FIXME:

  • URL of your meego.com profile.
  • URL of your MeeGo specific feed.

Candidates

Or you can start adding yourself to the list of candidates:


The proposed blogs are also maintained in the MeeGo News proof-of-concept and are available in OPML format from http://news.meego.nemein.net/news/planet_meego/feeds.opml

Added

Next steps

What would be the next steps in order to introduce a system including news promotions based on ratings?

Should we simply start simple and leave this discussion for later?
